Lokal Hotel Designed by Jersey Ice Cream Co.
My dream travel situation is one in which the privacy and cushiness of a hotel room
My dream travel situation is one in which the privacy and cushiness of a hotel room is combined with the laid-back kitchen access of a real home. As much as I love a good restaurant, for a lot of us with health issues, cooking our own food makes the unpredictability of travel easier to handle. So I was excited to hear about Lokal, a new boutique hotel in Old City, Philadelphia that focuses on apartment-style suites — designed by Tara and Percy of Jersey Ice Cream Co.!
Lokal co-founders Chad and Courtney Ludeman designed the hotel to work for both short- and long-term guests, providing rooms with separate bedrooms, full (gorgeous) kitchens, living rooms and washer/dryers. The rooms have an open, airy feeling that provides a modern contrast to the historic Old City neighborhood. Jersey Ice Cream Co. employed a mix of vivid blue paint (Seaworthy by Sherwin Williams), vintage furniture and salvage wood to add color and detail to the rooms and make each of the six apartments feel like a unique space. Read on to learn more about the hotel, see inside the rooms and hear more about the design process from Tara of Jersey Ice Cream Co. [You can check out the hotel online here and contact them about reserving a room]. xo, grace
