Ibis Styles, Gatwick, designed by Philip Watts Design for Starboard Hotels.

The design was all about 'wanderlust' and the strong desire for travel, exploration and discovery.


Touches of vintage travel, elegant mid-century materials and contemporary pattern all combine to create a cosy and welcoming guest space.


The layout is very much open plan but designed in such a way that there is a great mix of seating... comfy bar stools, banquette dining and little pockets of lounge seating so you can still find a cosy corner for a bit of privacy.


And finally the dedicated breakfast buffet complete with a vintage Fiat 500 central island!


The theme continues into the 182 bedrooms but has a more subtle, chilled ambience, perfect for a good nights sleep.
