I love visiting new cities to be inspired by their
architecture and design. Here are a few cities
that are a must visit this year! - Evelyn Eshun,

PARIS, FRANCE
This famous city is likely on the list for most people to visit,
and I agree that everyone should visit Paris. Sophisticated
and luxurious, even the simplest rooms have beautiful details
and finishes. I have been fortunate to visit this city a few
times and each time the doors, window details and frankly
every inch of every building inspires me.
COMO, ITALY
Lake Como is at the center of this region, flanked by quaint
little towns including what has been deemed the most roman-
tic town in Italy, Bellagio. It is famous for the colorful homes,
narrow streets and mountainous topography. It is accessible
by car but best visited with a boat cruise which takes passen-
gers to the various stops along the lake’s shores. The bright
colors, the wisteria and bougainvillea that grow everywhere
truly make this place magical and relaxing. It has a small
town feeling with a serious dose of sophistication.
SAN FRANCISCO, USA
This is a very unique city with topography like no other. The
architecture is unique and ranges from traditional to contem-
porary with a fresh, lighthearted undertone. With incredible
views and turn of the century interiors, this city has tremen-
dous inspiration whether it is the quaint hotel you stay at or
the local department store. Though much of the city burned
down in 1851, it was rebuilt to be one of the most recogniz-
able and iconic places in the world.
