You nailed it in designing a hotel space. Now what?

In this episode of Design After Class, Elodie Noël (SVP of Global Luxury Design at Accor) and Delphine Leon (founder of The Live Design Project) break down what actually separates a memorable luxury hotel from one that just looks good.

We get into why storytelling has to be the starting point of any design, not a caption added after the fact, and what true "sense of place" means beyond local patterns and decorative cliches. Elodie and Delphine also share practical tools, like the "three to five keywords" rule and the mood board coherence test, along with how they navigate big brand constraints, budget, and client presentations without losing the story along the way.
