Back-of-house renovations were the biggest undertaking, along with putting in what Ken Fulk<\/em><\/strong><\/span> calls some \u201creally sexy bathrooms<\/em>.\u201d Oddities were largely maintained throughout, and most of the public spaces exist in their original layout, including all the original tile in a curry orange, which became the hotel\u2019s signature shade. Let\u2019s step inside of this new modern hotel<\/strong><\/a> that merged with old design and aesthetics but where lays a promise of a stunning final product.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"The<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe hotel\u2014including a newly built Inn<\/strong>, designed by Moule & Polyzoides<\/strong>\u2014comprises 42 rooms and 12 suites, five of which are in the original landmark manse, whose quirks, eccentricities, and lavish finishes inspired the design direction.\r\n
\r\n

\u201cThere\u2019s just something that makes me feel like a kid,\u201d says Ken Fulk of the project, looking back. \u201cI think the great hotels of the world are quirky. They\u2019re eccentric, they\u2019re unusual. They imprint these memories on you. So we really wanted this to have a point of view.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"The<\/a><\/figure>\r\nThe words mansion and commodore enticed Ken Fulk<\/span><\/em><\/strong> to sign on to design Auberge Resorts Collection<\/strong>\u2019s latest effort in Austin, Texas\u2014the reimagining of a 1928 country home into a sprawling luxury hotel<\/strong>. It also didn\u2019t hurt that he was already a fan of the notoriously offbeat Texas city, having regularly patronized the Round Top Antiques Fair<\/strong>, done some residential work in the area, and enjoyed the music scene.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"The<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOn top of that, Ken Fulk<\/em><\/strong> went to town adding layers of wall coverings, drapes, and fabulous beds, along with decorative paintings and murals, including one at the pinnacle of the spiral stair of muses hand-painted by Deborah Phillips<\/strong>.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn the mansion, the Hal Thompson suite<\/strong> combines almost\u2013Tiffany blue paint with Pierre Frey\u2019s cactus-strewn Pampa print on walls and a sofa, while the Mr. and Mrs. Perry double suite is full-on glamour, with a decadent soaking tub and a four-poster bed. The Edgar Junior suite<\/strong> is tented, while the former staff quarters, LaVerne<\/strong>, ended up being the most decadent, covered completely in Frey fabric. The newly built Inn features some rooms with Juliette balconies, all outfitted with unique blends of antiques, reproductions of Round Top discoveries, and original finds.\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe hotel project<\/strong> also encompasses a social-club component that gives both members and guests access to all the same amenities, from workshops and concerts on the loggia to a chesterfield sofa\u2013decked living room (complete with craft cocktail bar) and multiple libraries and dining outlets. A forthcoming standalone restaurant, Lutie<\/strong>\u2019s, was designed by Austin-based architecture firm Clayton & Little<\/strong> to embrace the old stone walls, with Ken Fulk<\/em><\/strong> adding floral-themed interiors.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
