I spent last week at the Cloister on Sea Island here in Georgia and I was so impressed with the decor I’m making it this week’s Hotel Pick FROM THE RIGHT BANK.

The style is very traditional with a Spanish bent and what really blew me away was the attention to detail. At every turn, there was something beautiful to take in. It is overflowing with amazing art, stunning antiques and gorgeous accessories.

The above are all photos from the hotel’s website and here are some that I took:

The gardens and all the outdoor spaces were so beautifully done.

Isn’t this just so Southern:

Another beautiful room and look at these details:

Here’s our balcony and the views we had:

If you were on Facebook, you already saw that I was obsessing over this mirror in our room:

I was obsessed with a few other things too like this bench (you can see it peeking out in the bathroom photo above):

and all the rugs:

I wanted every single rug in the hotel. And light fixture. And painting. And ….. To me, the Cloister is the perfect example of traditional done right.

Happy Traveling Thursday and bon voyage!

 

Appropriately enough, I’m traveling on this Traveling Thursday – to Atlanta on business – so I thought I’d show you the W Hotel in Midtown, Atlanta where I’ll be staying.

I want these lights in my house:

If anyone knows the source for these (or anything like these), do tell!

I’m not crazy about this room but I believe that’s a suspended chair by the window:

If it is, you know where you’ll find me.

Loving the tub:

and the concrete staircase:

So that’s where I’ll be for the next few days. But I have something very special planned here for tomorrow. It’s the first interview at From the Right Bank and it’s an exclusive one at that with none other than Vicente Wolf! So be sure to stop by.

Happy Traveling Thursday and bon voyage!
