(22 August 2017, Hong Kong) Award-winning interior designer Joyce Wang has unveiled the design for the new Entertainment Suite at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong. Dedicated to extravagant entertaining, the hotel’s newest and largest suite measures an expansive 2,250 square feet, providing guests with the ultimate retreat for socialising or relaxing.
Beyond the foyer entrance, guests enter the main living area featuring an Entertainment Wall that extends the length of the room. The Entertainment Wall comprises a series of individual cabinets crafted in liquid metal and intricately engraved with tree branch silhouettes. Designed as a ‘Cabinet of Delights’ for guests to explore, each one reveals a thoughtful amenity, an individual surprise or a personalised service. Aside from boutique wines on tap, the ‘Cabinet of Delights’ also includes a mixologist dispensary, a crystal vitrine stocked with delicacies created by the hotel’s Michelin-starred chef, and a movie-style popcorn machine.
The high-tech audiovisual unit is designed for the most dedicated audiophile and film fanatic and includes a B&O BeoLab sound system as well as a 160-inch TV screen with a laser projector. Encased with metal detailing, the custom-designed coffee table reveals interlocking compartments crafted from gouged timber, where the latest virtual reality headsets and gaming equipment are stored.
Inspiring and luxurious, the colour palette reflects elements of nature to evoke a sense of quiet calm, providing a welcome respite from Hong Kong’s hectic streets. Each room in the Entertainment Suite features bespoke elements and exquisite detailing. Joyce custom designed the furnishings for the Entertainment Suite, from the hand-chiselled cabinet doors adorned with hand-painted art, to the wall finishes in limestone with bronze inlay. The living area boasts a striking chandelier composed of individual glass-moulded squares, each one fitted with LED sheets to resemble frozen cubes.
The extravagant amenities extend to the Suite’s kitchen and dining area. Featuring a fully-equipped pantry crafted in Cipollino Verde marble, a hand-poured liquid metal wall by Officina Coppola and a custom-made dining table, guests can engage the hotel chefs to prepare intimate private banquets for up to 10 visitors.
The master bedroom comprises its own sitting area and separate walk-in wardrobes. Joyce’s signature touches are evident in the suede leather padding and hand-tufted silk rugs, adding to the texture-rich interior. The attention to detail is further reflected in the ribbed features of the aged bronze fluted backdrop by Stuart Fox, the cocoon-like headboard and bed-end bench.
The bespoke luxury continues in the spacious Master Bathroom where a freestanding Palissadro bathtub, crafted from one piece of marble, is complemented with a custom-designed Champagne caddy. Joyce has also created a sensuous vanity area featuring his and her washbasins and a display shelf showcasing a range of luxurious amenities and toiletries. The terrazzo wall finish with brass trim and an ambient wall sconce by Catellani & Smith adds a finishing touch to this deluxe sanctuary.
If guests require an additional bedroom, the Entertainment Suite connects seamlessly with an adjacent guestroom designed in a similar aesthetic.
