LXR Partners With Furniture Designer on New Hotel

LXR Luxury Resorts & Hotels has signed a deal with furniture design gallery owner Ralph Pucci to develop the first Hotel Ralph Pucci. Once renovations are completed in fall 2007, the Georgetown Inn in Washington, D.C. will be reflagged as the 96-room Hotel Ralph Pucci. The hotel will be fashioned in Pucci's design vision, which he says is "elegant, modern and timeless." Pucci has tapped five of his artists to provide furniture for each of the guest room floors and each floor will also feature different color schemes. Visit [www.luxuryresorts.com].
