HOTEL REVIEW
hopes to open her guests’ eyes to a more colourful life, while at the same time ensuring the vibrancy of the design is balanced with intimacy and privacy. “The colour scheme is vibrant and fairly new because I believe our Luna2 club members are ready for change,” she notes. “But I also do my utmost to make each room feel inviting, adding interest with a multitude of textures: walnut veneers, glossy lacquered paint finishes, stainless steel, leather, woven fabrics, wallpapers and printed glass.” Of course, if privacy isn’t what they’re after, guests also have access to the 30-seat poolside restaurant Orbit, Hall’s favourite spot. Bright white with splashes of sunflower yellow, it’s the space Luna2’s imaginative owner feels most reflects where she is now in design. “It’s a small tribute to the late Fifties and early Sixties and is refreshingly new without being over the top,” she says, adding that the underground Pop! Lounge Bar, featuring retro shades of purple,
shocking pink and pan-am turquoise, comes in at a close second. “Pop! allowed me to unearth the ‘groovy
baby’ side of myself that is rapidly developing,” she remarks. But more importantly, it’s a heartfelt tribute to her late father, architect Alan Chambers, who inspired her addiction to modernist design. “I am finally re-creating his lit-up dance floor that I remember well as a child.” Her father may have provided the initial
inspiration for the modernist feel of both Luna2 Private Hotel and Luna2 Studios, but there’s no doubt that Hall has added her own unique twist. With its quirky features, up-to- the-minute innovations and, above all, a sense of humour, Luna2 Studios, rather than being prescriptively modernist, is a second look into the imagination of its fun-loving owner. “Life is not meant to be taken too seriously after all!” she mischievously concludes.
