“Spaces are magical, always have been for me. Since childhood, often when I walk into a space for the first time, I’m confronted with a narrative, a feeling, a history, some characters. Like Jacques, in “As You Like It,” there is a myth, an opera, a film or a play stretching out on stage before me. These stages present themselves for me to play on and, for even more fun, to play with. The romantic and erotic are always embedded in the space.” Emerson Skeens

As the sun sets on 2024 and we see the first sunrise on a new year we want to thank all our friends, guests and incredible staff family for helping us grow stronger through the challenges of this year. We want to say a special thank you to Len @len.helen.horlin for all of her work, not least, another refurbishment at Emerson Spice Hotel (more to follow in 2025). Len tried her best to keep a low profile in the video but we managed to smuggle a few clips in.
We really couldn’t have got here without all of you! Asante Sana!
We wish you all a peaceful, bright and blessed 2025.
Dawn opens a fresh door to the future. We look forward to sharing many more Timeless Memories in Magical Spaces soon.
