From Paris-based behemoths designed by one of the world’s most renowned interior designers to London’s hottest new booking, a little-known Sicilian dream to Marrakech’s most iconic riad loved by the fashion set, we’ve handpicked seven of the world’s most stunning maximalist hotels that fully embrace colour and print.

Whether you’re looking for your next holiday booking or searching for inspiration for your own home (on a more modest budget), these are our top picks…

Braccialieri Resort, Sicily

If you’re looking to update your garden aesthetic (pool or no pool), bookmark this Sicilian dream of a boutique hotel pronto. Designed in collaboration with local fashion designer Alessandro Enriquez, the outdoor areas are an Instagrammer’s heaven. Think red-and-white checkerboard tiles, retro sun loungers, and charming, vintage-inspired chintzy fabrics.

No outdoor space? We’d quite happily use this as a Pinterest board for a guest bedroom, a kitchen with bags of personality, or a tiny bathroom that taps into that nonnamaxxing trend for the ultimate in Italian charm.

Casa Lawa, Sicily

There is charming… and then there is Casa Lawa. And, yes, we know we have featured two Sicilian properties straight out of the starting block, but those guys really know how to bring an irreverent spirit to holiday dwellings. This might be the most achievable aesthetic of our picks to recreate – it feels a bit like your super-cool, eclectic friend’s home. Think block colours, glowy lighting, and stripes galore.

Broadwick Soho, London

You don’t have to look twice to know the interiors for this gorgeous, fairly new Soho hotel are the work of world-renowned Martin Brudnizki. Even if you’re not familiar, you’ve probably still seen pictures of plenty of fabulous celeb and industry parties taking place inside these walls, thanks to their joyful, dopamine-inducing colours and prints. This is the kind of place where you’ll want to take pictures of every piece of furniture, lighting choice, soft furnishing detail, and thoughtful corner. To get the look, embrace everything from pistachio-hued walls to velvet fabrics and an eclectic mix of sugary almond shades.

Le Grand Mazarin, Paris

Another masterpiece by Brudnizki is the five-star Parisian hotel, Le Grand Mazarin. Set in our favourite part of the city, Le Marais, it’s another masterclass in theatrical maximalism, but pared back a little in that nonchalant French way they do so well. The design is inspired by 17th and 18th-century Parisian literary salons, taking traditional, grand French style and reimagining it with playful, modern touches. Get the look with plenty of layered, opulent fabrics, wallpapers, and floral prints, anchored by beautiful, antique furniture and muted colours.

El Fenn, Marrakech

El Fenn, in Marrakech, is one of those bucket-list stays at the top of everyone’s wish list. Recreating the full look at home might take an outrageous budget and a world-class design studio, but stealing snippets of its vibe is doable. Think classic Moroccan craft – Berber-style rugs, warm, moody-lit lanterns, and beautiful tilework – spun on its head with chunky stripes and bubblegum pink walls.

The Fife Arms, Scotland

We all know and love traditional Scottish heritage interiors – and there are plenty of luxury Scotland hotels that do it so well – but The Fife Arms reinvents the look entirely. It pairs quintessential tartan blankets and Highland cosy textures with eclectic touches such as Bloomsbury-inspired accessories and curated antiques. Nothing feels off-the-shelf here. Instead, every piece of furniture and homeware pick feels lived-in, unique, and like a standalone piece of art. Cosy-meets-utterly-stylish perfection.

Warren Street Hotel, New York City

Is NYC on your bucket list? The Warren Street Hotel in New York‘s Tribeca area is one to bookmark. The work of interior designer and hotelier Kit Kemp MBE (who is also behind London hotels like Ham Yard and Charlotte Street), it features an eclectic mix of colour, texture, and bespoke craft, with no two rooms looking or feeling the same. It’s not a look you can recreate all in one go, but rather an aesthetic built slowly through years of collecting and curation. Think statement headboards in intricate floral prints, plenty of thoughtful and beautiful artwork, and soft furnishings in bold fabric and colour that bring life to any space.
