"SOUTH BEACH, ANYONE??"

Imagine the outcome of ushering one of the sexiest rockers to put his touch on one of the hottest hotels on South Beach! Mauve, prepare yourselves for a luxurious travel destination spot that you must visit when next in South Beach, Miami. It has been reported that the highly proclaimed rocker, Lenny Kravitz’s design company, Kravitz Design, Inc. has teamed up with the Morgan’s Hotel Group to design their latest lounge in The Delano hotel. The Miami-based venture has been in existence for about two years and was born out of Kravitz’s love of architecture and interior design. "I was always changing things and moving things around," said Kravitz. "When I started touring 16 years ago, going around the world, I got into architecture."The lounge, entitled, “The Florida Room” is designed to reflect the golden past of Miami Beach’s music history. "I love the musical history of Miami Beach. The Beatles, James Brown and Frank Sinatra all spent time here." To capture that mood, he's creating a speakeasy-style space, tucked underneath the hotel's Blue Door restaurant.
Its no secret to anyone that Lenny Kravitz is a design junkie, he’s been studying architecture for some time know and initially began designing private homes and has now ventured off into the hotel industry. His homes have been featured in numerous publications and television shows, showcasing his plush fur carpets and extravagant art deco pieces, and now he is spearheading The Delano project serving as the creative director. The lounge should be set to open by December 8Th, in time for Art Basel which is practically the Delano's favorite holiday.
