An interior at the Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane

Tara Bernerd

Tara Bernerd’s interior architecture and design practice, Tara Bernerd & Partners, London, has worked on Four Seasons hotels in Fort Lauderdale, London and New York; one of its current project is the Equinox LA with lead architect Frank Gehry, among other projects. What she says: 

"Hospitality spaces that link with the natural environment create a sense of personal connection. In city-centric hotels, we often use materials such as local stones, and if we’re creating a resort, we connect the inside and outdoor spaces.

"Designing lifestyle destinations during lockdown has been interesting… In order to develop a pitch for a resort somewhere warm and beautiful with lots of outdoor space, we asked our teams to take virtual holidays – look at hotels and beaches, order cocktails and really plan a trip. By being a bit creative in our approach, we ensured we didn’t lose that personal touch."
