St. Ermin's Hotel and Little Details

While in London a few weeks ago, I stayed at the lovely St. Ermin's Hotel.

Sure it was pretty overall, but it was the little details that made the hotel really special. Things like the huge mosaic floor in the covered porch of the entryway. I know it would cost a fortune but wouldn't it be awesome to have something like this on your porch with your own emblem or family initials incorporated in the design?

And then there was the inside. White carvings covered the walls and ceilings but it was the lighting that made it special. A number of lights were on the floor providing up-lighting that truly highlighted the carving details. The chandeliers looked nice during the day but offered wonderful light and shadows in the evening hours.

So, so pretty.
