Pour another Rob Roy and make yourself at home at Bisha Hotel Toronto, where geometric prints and somber color schemes exude all the appropriate glam sensations. This is disco meets fashion, a decade recreated with excellent materials and luscious textures, producing a setting that feels both luxurious and casual. With crushed velvet panelled walls accented with plane lacquered wood and an engraved gold reception desk and matching backdrop wall, the lobby pays homage to a bygone period of power players and glamour models. A fuchsia Jeff Koons sculpture in the lobby, a framed Damien Hirst scarf for Alexander McQueen in the lounge, Andy Warhol pop art prints in the corridors, and powerful Maxine Bocken photography in the washrooms are just a few of the bold, boundary-pushing art choices. The rooms are named after famous artists — the Nina, the Frank, the Grace, and the Stella — and are all decorated in the same luxurious throwback style. Armoires, cocktail carts, and customized beds, as well as supermodel and magazine cover pictures in silver, black, and white frame, give the impression of a vogueish home. Bisha Hotel inspires and empowers with its audacity and provocativeness.
