1 Urban Villa

Curious alternative to traditional hotels, Urban Villa in London is an innovative boutique hotel that offers guests accommodation only at the top of the range. Or better than this, only completely independent suites. Located midway between Heathrow Airport and the city centre, Urban Villa is open to all customers, be they families, singles, groups of friends or business people, and takes reservations for both short-term and for long stay. The interiors of the hundred villas were designed by the New York firm Grzywinski + Pons and include living room, kitchen, conservatory, bedroom and services.

The property states: “You will have to fight your conscience to not call this place a second home.” Yes, because as well as the comfort offered by residences, guests can enjoy special services on demand such as laundry, spa treatments “at home”, mail delivery and 24/24 concierge service. But that is not all. Urban Villa also has a café, Boki Coffee Co., and an evening club, Sour Diesel: to live away from home just like home.

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
