This photo shows the lobby in The Hoxton Hotel in Portland, Ore. London/L.A.-based Fettle designed Portland's Hoxton. Alongside newly-built rooms, public areas were situated in an old converted movie theater. Tailored but comfy mohair and leather seating and warm wood side tables blend with distressed rugs and displays of ceramics, plants and books. Refurbished timber and concrete beams frame the spaces. And there's a great story about the reception area's wood paneling. "We used a lot of local suppliers and material for this project," Parker says. "The area around Portland is a big producer of Maraschino cherries; the visible face of the wall is made from the outside of reclaimed cherry vats. If you look closely you can even see the imprints where the metal belts that hold the huge vats together were pressed against the wood." (Ennismore/The Hoxton via AP)
