The 17th floor lobby of the Hilton Pattaya Hotel not only offers beautiful views to the sea from its floor to ceiling windows, but it also offers a whimsical feeling, as soon as you look up. The fabric sheets hanging from the ceiling offer a soft movement and flow in the room, that fits perfectly it the serene surroundings outdoors. Air conditioners also help actually move the fabric so the rippling flow of the ceiling can match that of the ocean below.

Brian Malarkey’s newest project, Burlap, is taking Del Mar by storm. Malarkey and his partner James Brennan have created a Asian Cowboy themed restaurant that not only featured the wild dining creations of Malarkey’s mind but also an eccentric interior design that mixes the Oriental influence and rustic design to match the restaurants theme. Thomas Shoos, who also worked with Brian on Searsuckers, tackled the challenge with reclaimed pieces, koi ponds and two separate bars. Thanks to Burlap’s stunning design, dining experience and delicious cuisine, it is well worth a trip to Del Mar.
