History of Hotels The earliest establishments akin to modern hotels today, were the inns of medieval Europe. From the mid-1600s, coaching inns served as a lodging place for coach travellers; a place for food, rest and as layovers between long journeys in cart and horse. Inns began to cater to richer clients in the mid-18th century. The idea of the hotel grew massively in Western Europe and North America in the early 19th century. The allure of ‘Luxury Hotels’ was realised in the latter half of the 19th century with luxury hotels being purposefully designed and built for glamorous short-term stays. Not only do hotels serves as a place for rest, but they also serve as a place of escape. Hotels are often viewed as liminal spaces, as the “physical destination between one place and the next.” They function as a place of escape before grand moves are taken to embark on another journey.

The Great Bed of Ware 1590, V&A Museum

Going through the revolving doors, standing at reception, waiting, looking around. Room key in hand, your bags will meet you there. Elevator journey, wondering what lies beyond the doors, floor to ceiling windows gazing out. Long hallways lined with doors framed by lights sitting neatly either side. Maybe they’re empty, or filled with honeymooning couples, big families with small children, businessmen and women on conference trips, your temporary neighbours for the night. Excitement and anticipation, what will be revealed…

The door opens… Teal linen walls and oak wood floorboards, bevelled mirrors, art, marble, glass, space. Crisp cotton, soft cushions and a fluffy white robe. The sun shines through the muslin curtain. Joy, a smile spreading, eyes travelling travel around the room, discovering each small luxury.

The door opens… Two tone purple carpet. A shiny brown leather bed head, sheets interrupted by a thick camel coloured wool blanket. A short thin window breaks up the ochre walls, rain drops obscure the grey city view. The bathroom, pastel pink walls, an avocado green basin, a pale-yellow shower curtain and towels. Wishing you were back home.

HOTEL ROOMS GRANNY SQUARES SOFIA COPPOLA DAME PHYLLIDA BARLOW GLEB DERUJINSKY BILL YOUNG EDWARD HOPPER

Granny squares are little crocheted squares that are created individually and then sewn together to make blankets, accessories and clothing. It became such a trend around the 70s that for a while clothing was made of nothing else; granny square vests, granny square shorts, granny square hats… Although no one knows when the granny square was invented, it gained popularity in the depression era as a way for women to use up scraps of yarn from discarded sweaters and socks. These were carefully unravelled, and the yarn crocheted into small squares. The squares were then given to the older women of the house, or grannies, as they were called, to sew them together. Hence the name “granny squares”.

Sofia Coppola is an American film director, producer, screenwriter, and fashion designer. She briefly studied painting, dabbled in modelling, photography, and fashion design, colaunching a fashion line in the mid 90s. Coppola later returned to the fashion world to design a line of leather handbags for the Louis Vuitton fashion house. However, she shot to fame worldwide for the film ’Lost in Translation’, which she wrote, directed, and produced, earning her an Academy Award for best original screenplay, a nomination for best picture, and a historic nomination for best director; the first American woman to receive that recognition.

Dame Phyllida Barlow is a Bristish sculptor who takes inspiration from her surroundings to create imposing installations that can be at once menacing and playful. She creates antimonumental sculptures from inexpensive, low-grade materials such as cardboard, fabric, plywood, polystyrene, scrim and cement, often painted in industrial or vibrant colours, the seams of their construction left at times visible, revealing the means of their making. Barlow's work is a combination of playful and intimidating. Her sculptures tower above the viewer as if a huge section of scaffolding, giving the impression of being both excruciatingly heavy and light as air simultaneously.

Derujinsky

was a ground breaking fashion photographer who invigorated the fashion industry with his glamorous, exotic, often unconventional photographs. His career as a fashion photographer took hold in the golden age of European haute couture, when Balenciaga and Pierre Balmain were at the top of their game, and Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld were designing their first runway shows. Derujinsky is recognised for his outlandish ideas and travel images taken in remote locations all over the world at a time when travel by air was far from common. His work was featured in Glamour, Esquire, The New York Times, among others before he began shooting extensively for Harper’s Bazaar.

Bill Young

is a Pilot turned photographer who was fascinated by hotel carpets, so he started documenting them. Being a pilot, he found himself in a lot of cities often with camera, time and carpet to hand. Their gaudy yet banal patterns, showcased in a new book, have led to surprisingly festive images. From Austin to Amsterdam, Lille to Las Vegas, this book shares the mesmerising, bizarre and sometimes questionable, carpets found in hotel lobbies all over the world.

Edward Hopper is one of the most important realist painters of twentieth century America whose vision of reality was a selective one, reflecting his own temperament in the empty cityscapes, landscapes, and isolated figures he chose to paint. His work demonstrates that realism is not merely a literal or photographic copying of what we see, but an interpretive rendering. He painted hotel rooms with anonymous figures, and stern geometric forms within snapshot-like compositions with an inescapable sense of loneliness, heightened by Hopper’s characteristic use of light to insulate persons and objects in space. Hotel rooms were one of Hopper's favourite subjects; an evocative metaphor of solitude. His long series of oil paintings set in different hotels, were undoubtedly inspired by his fascination with travelling.

With his eighteen boldly designed covers for the leading trade journal Hotel Management (1924–5), Edward Hopper played a central, if rarely acknowledged, role in crafting a sleek, sumptuous public face for the notoriously unglamorous work of resort and hospitality services during the interwar years.

Hotel Room is a miniseries by David Lynch & Monty Montgomery, following three different stories that all take place in room number 603 of The Railroad Hotel, New York City, during different time periods. The lives of several people spanning from 1936, 1969, to 1993, are chronicled during their overnight stay at a New York City hotel room.
