Remodeling the existing hotels in Georgetown follows with LXRs strategy. The company was formed in August 2005 with the acquisition of hotel brand Wyndham International and 14 of its properties, including famed resorts such as The Peaks Resort & Golden Door Spa in Telluride, Colo., and the Bel Age in West Hollywood. Since then, LXR has grown its portfolio to 30 resorts throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Like The Georgetown Inn, each hotel is upgraded using well-known, cutting-edge designers. The 96-room Hotel Ralph Pucci is expected to be minimalist and feature a different color palette and design on each floor. Pucci, who originally became famous for his mannequin designs, has tapped the architect/design team of Pilar Proffitt and Robert Bristow to develop his design concepts. Original photography by fashion photographer Diego Uchitel and by Christopher Makos, who was a protege of Andy Warhol, will be featured in the hotel. |
