The Whitelaw Hotel Lobby South Beach, Miami

it’s tough to get an idea of the scale of this sofa and chairs from this picture. I wish the Mrs was sitting in them so you could get an idea of hof massive they were.

This picture does not represent the proper light in the room but it really was beautiful in a funky eclectic sort of way.

I can’t attest for the rooms as I didn’t get past the lobby, but the decor was sexy as hell. Those Victorian style chairs were way oversized. I’ve never seen such bold statements in decor in person. The only thing that might have come close was Graceland as far as over the top design in a small space.

It’s not demure, it’s not understated, they went for it in a big way. This probably wouldn’t work in too many places but it works here in South Beach.

The Whitelaw Hotel looks pretty nondescript from the outside but once you step foot inside it’s a visual feast.
