Returning Le Chic to Ibiza.

I was asked to sketch Hotel Es Vive
http://www.hotelesvive.com/

A very glamorous building and One of just Two hotels in Ibiza listed as heritage buildings. It has been restored with care to its original glory. Whilst sketching my imagination drifted to the days when the style players and shapers of their time might have pulled up here in Bugattis dressed to impress. It is a beautiful Art Nouveau building. Just by being here you can tell the present owners love the place and want visitors to love it equally. I wondered if this is where it all started? The start of Ibiza chic. The place certainly has panache today (why is it always French words?).


I was also asked to sketch for http://cottonbeachclub.com/

Due to open in the middle of May. It is possibly going to be the event of Ibiza this summer. A fabulous concept almost realised. Sitting in luxury on a beach of Ibiza drinking chilled champagne, or coctails whilst enjoying what has to be one of the most renowned sunset views in Europe. The restaurant will be a bit special also.

Thanks to both for the work, and thanks for returning some 'chic' to Ibiza.
