Stylist rolls out hotel revamp for Langham

Stylist Gustavo Lundt has been taken on by the Langham group to help rethink the styles of its two hotels. So the way the food is arranged on the plate that is delivered to your room, the crockery, the staff uniforms, the paintings, the carpets, the sculptures, the flowers, the gift shop, in fact just about everything is and will be under Lundt's perusal.

This is the first time Lundt will use his creative flair on hotels. 'My background is in retail, so developing products. Before this I was in visual merchandising. So I'm having to learn the whole hotel business,' said Lundt, 38. 'I've had to sleep in all the different rooms,' to get an idea of their layout.

While the hotels want his creative input, he also has to stick to the Langham worldwide branding bible. But there are several areas where he is wheelie keen. 'I'm redesigning the whole look of the [room service] trolley,' he said proudly.
