The Art Deco Revival

MEDIA

Grace Lei Guo speaks to Roslyn Jolly about Kimpton Margot Sydney in T The New York Times Style Magazine and how it fits into the broader reemergence of Art Deco in the hotel scene..

Her canvas is the 1939 Sydney Water Board building, one of the country’s grandest Art Deco structures. Reimagining its cavernous public areas as heritage-infused spaces intimate enough for activities such as the nightly Social Hour, an essential Kimpton guest experience, Guo is inspired by the dramatic Art Deco architecture of her home city of Shanghai. She hopes her design will help people “leave care behind” as they enter another world.
