Clockwise from above :
Each guestroom was designed with a bespoke sense of detail and craftsmanship with respect for the building ’ s history . Headboards and TV panels , for example , are made from different frames and moldings typical in the heritage architecture .
Guestroom details include custom pillows by Marcel van der Vlugt and bedspreads by Emily Forgot .
Art is showcased in unexpected places throughout the hotel , as with this illustration by Emily Forgot in one of the Fabulous Suites .
An original stained-glass window on the hotel ’ s second floor reflects its previous incarnation as the French and Italian bank for South America ; this pane represents Argentina .
