When I first came across Kelly Wearstler’s latest foray into megahotel decor I didn’t think too much of it, as it just seems to be Kelly’s beach house on steroids. But you can never underestimate the Wearstler’s ability to awe and inspire. There are some wicked fascinating details in here — some really good and some just really weird. Let’s have a look.
With a neutral palette and signature mix of natural materials and bold forms, the Anguilla is 100% Kelly.
Complete with seaweed luxe lighting and a befedoraed concierge.
Sconces mounted on patinated mirrors? Why, yes.
Crystal lamps and burly wooden finishes? Mmm hmm.
Karl Springer boner.
Marble marble on the wall…
Who is the fairest of them all?
I want to get drunk here.
And then retreat to my lounge, away from the riff raff.
That’s my ocean, bitches.
Yes, all of it.
So most of the weirdness comes from this creepy interloper who keeps trying to gank my room.
Ok, and maybe those lamps are a little hangman’s noose, too.
Happy Tuesday!
I want to get drunk in that bar with you. Apres cocktails, you retreat to the lounge but I call the marble-on-marble-on-marble bath. The entire place is just awesome. I love her brain. Love yours too.
Tented up over the whole shebang.
I dislike sleeping in white rooms — which I just realized makes me sound a tad … eccentric.
Everything else here is awesome, though. The ocean views, marble walls, uber-quirky accessories, fantastic bathroom. The black and white table in the first pic floats my boat in every way.
I want it ALL! (Turning on my ‘Ocean Sound-Soother’, right now.)
Some of the images are just plain wonky.
That said, a few of the spaces are quite beautiful — that bedroom, the dramatic pair of high-backed chairs in what must be a lounge or bar area, the indoor/outdoor bath setup.
And yet, it just doesn’t feel like the kind of place one would want to hunker down for a relaxing beach reprieve.
It’s conceptual, yes, but sorely lacking in sexual.
Cheers, Alcira

wonky and weird, but i’d totally stay there.
i love all that marble. yum.
Can’t help but admire the crazy bitch. The wicker chairs with the psychedelic marble wall were my fave!
Hi! I’m from Anguilla and have gotten drunk at that bar, and its as fantastic as you think it its.
Dwiz, you are now the most envied man in the world.
agreed. the woman can’t fail!
love your captions
Have to say that the woman has no limits and she let’s her creativity just flow. Whether it is to your taste or not you just have to admire her courage. I like some laments so e not like everyone else, but to me it looks a bit like a showroom, maybe for marble, maybe for mid century furniture, but maybe this can pass in a hotel ??
And someone has to teach me how to turn off the damn speller on the damn iPad too
Anyone know where those crystal, cylinder lamps can be purchased? They are georgous
