We spent the evening at our hotel yesterday, as it poured with rain, and we didn’t have much of an appetite to get in the car again. I love to sit in hotel lobbies, especially ones as stylish as this one. Enormous vintage mustard sofas, beautiful ceramics, candles and books on every surface, board games for the kids, an imaginative cocktail list and good food to fill our bellies. I dove into Nora Ephron’s brilliant book of essays, and poured over the pages of a huge hardback on Matisse’s cutouts. I can’t remember the last time I spent an evening this way. Such a pleasure.
