The Kessler Collection and Creator Richard C. Kessler Pioneer Boutique Hotel Design
Eye on Design: Luxury Hotels, Rare Art and Emerging Jewelry Lines
Mr. Richard C. Kessler, chairman and CEO of The Kessler Collection – a portfolio of ten artistically inspired boutique hotels and restaurants – in accordance with its three-year growth plans, predicts affluent travel will see a move to focusing on design, creativity and art appreciation. According to the International Interior Design Association, the public has become more aware of high design and it's becoming a required staple for the strategic edge in boutique hotel competition.
Boutique hotels are placing more interest in "one-off designs," which promote creativity, individuality and unique experiences. To achieve this, hotels handpick decor elements and incorporate international flavor to tell a story, both of which are considered highly valued specialties by Richard C. Kessler and within the family-owned Kessler Collection. At the heart of each hotel, is a celebration of art and music, with many properties offering a visually stimulating Grand Bohemian Gallery filled with paintings, sculptures, jewelry and more from local, international and Kessler signature artists.
"As a pioneer in boutique hotel development (1980), I take pride in the design, rare art and inspiring music that creates a defined experience present in our hotels," said Mr. Richard C. Kessler, chairman and CEO of The Kessler Collection. "Each is created to inspire the guest by telling a story through artwork and decor I've chosen from around the world. We strive to encourage every traveler to embrace this creativity with hopes they gain something of value from the experience."
From the east coast to the American west, The Kessler Collection creates inspiring and extraordinary experiences for guests, offering perfect vacation spots for adventure, romance and discovery. The Kessler Collection hotels include El Monte Sagrado Living Resort and Spa, The Castle Hotel, Beaver Creek Lodge, Grand Bohemian Hotel Asheville, Bohemian Hotel Savannah Riverfront, Casa Monica Hotel St. Augustine, Grand Bohemian Hotel Orlando, Bohemian Hotel Celebration, Kessler Canyon of Colorado, and Mansion on Forsyth Park in Savannah, Ga.
