How gorgeous is this hotel I stayed in Vietnam recently? There’s something incredibly grounding about the way raw stone, charred wood, and textured surfaces are used. Nothing feels overly polished, yet everything feels deeply considered.
I loved how the space shifts throughout the day, with soft light washing over the materials and bringing out their depth.
The bathroom, carved almost entirely from stone, felt like a quiet retreat. The bedroom had this beautiful contrast of dark, tactile wood against crisp linens. And the lounge, with its dramatic ceiling and warm glow, created such a strong sense of atmosphere.
It’s the kind of place that reminds me why materiality matters so much in design; how it can shape not just how a space looks, but how it feels.
Still inspired by this one.
