The public spaces of the Spier Hotel have undergone a major transformation and now boast a dramatic new look that accentuates the extraordinary Spier art collection.
The reception area, lounge, bar and terrace, and restaurant in the luxurious Winelands hotel have been redecorated in a vibrant style that has brought the outdoors in, with strong colours, patterns and textures that echo nature’s designs, and furniture that encourages conversation.
A key part of the Spier brief to the interior designer, Dawn Dickerson of Hot Cocoa in Cape Town, was that the job should create an experience for guests, and should illustrate a contemporary, organic ethos. Spier has always been a place that encourages dialogue and the meeting of minds. The spaces in the lounge area have been designed to encourage the old fashioned art of conversation.
‘When you want to go to a hotel you want to be entertained; the light and the use of colours create a starting point for conversation with guests,’ says Dickerson.
