So happy to welcome Hotel Chic’s newest sponsor Jamie Herzlinger.  It is amazing how many new discoveries you make through blogging and that is how Jamie’s chic interiors came on my radar.  Based in Scottsdale, Arizona, Jamie helms a thriving  design business and has been featured in Traditional Home and lonny. On her Jamieshop site you can score to-the trade furniture and fabrics at below retail prices. Jamie often uses travel to inspire her work, whether it is using the color of the Caribbean sea to inspire a beach house, or a New York City hotel bathroom to influence a master bath project. In that vein, Jamie shared with us her favorite design hotel, The Mark in New York. I am obsessed with their striped floors and wrote about how to use them as design inspiration.  Read on for Jamie’s interview about the fab Mark Hotel:

What is your favorite hotel in terms of design?

JH: My favorite hotel would have to be the Mark Hotel in NYC.

What is the vibe like?
JH: The vibe is chic, hip and very LA.

When did you go and who were you with?
JH: I was there just last week, by myself. Enjoying myself, dining with a Grey Goose extra dirty martini paired with my favorite black truffle pizza.

What was your favorite space in the hotel and why?
JH: I am in love with the lobby. I am amazed by the graphics, regardless of what someone is wearing, they look fabulous sitting in a chair on a bold black and white floor.

Is there a space in the hotel, or a design idea that you would recreate for yourself or a client?
JH: Absolutely, the bathrooms are simply perfect! The floor is black and white graphic, the cabinets are glass faced with edged banded in chrome.

Insider tip? What do you wish you had known before you stayed?
JH: I wish I would have booked here a long time ago. I will definitely be going back.
