Country Club Aesthetic Interiors That Inspire
There are places where booking a room is not only about spending the night. Some hotels exist to be experienced fully, to immerse yourself in an atmosphere that lingers long after you leave. These boutique addresses stand apart because they carry a certain energy: a balance between intimacy, elegance, and rhythm.
We call it Viñas Energy: a subtle tension between calm and movement, between heritage and modern living, between understated comfort and refined allure.
They also embody a contemporary design trend increasingly sought after: the country club aesthetic. Think dark wood interiors, leather club chairs, rich textiles, heavy drapes softening the light. It’s a style that borrows from private clubs and translates them into warm, livable spaces.
Why these hotels? Because they show how atmosphere is built through materials, textiles, and silence. At Viñas Genève, we design throws with the same intention: to transform a space not with noise or excess, but with a quiet gesture. These hotels are not simply destinations, they are reminders that fabrics, light and detail can shape comfort. That is the inspiration we carry into our creations.
Here are five boutique hotels where this aesthetic comes alive, inspiring both travelers and those who shape their own interiors at home.
1. The Greenwich Hotel - New York
In Tribeca, The Greenwich Hotel feels less like a hotel and more like a cosmopolitan townhouse. No two rooms are the same; each carries its own character. Exposed brick walls, reclaimed wood beams, and wrought iron details create a structure both raw and inviting.
The shared lounges echo the spirit of a reimagined New York club. Worn-in leather chairs suggest conversations that stretch into the night. Persian rugs anchor the space, while books and curated objects hint at global influences. It’s an example of country club aesthetic interior design at its most eclectic, mixing natural materials with an understated sense of luxury.
Here, textiles are not showcased overtly but suggested everywhere: the way a rug absorbs sound, the way leather and wood age gracefully, the quiet warmth of fabrics chosen to soften the edges of the architecture. In a city known for its speed, The Greenwich manages to slow everything down. A pause within the rhythm of Manhattan.
2. La Réserve - Geneva
Set on the shores of Lake Léman, La Réserve is more than a hotel: it feels like a hidden retreat within the city. Surrounded by lush gardens, its interiors balance contemporary elegance with an atmosphere of private intimacy. Soft light enters through wide windows, reflecting on natural tones, wood finishes, and carefully chosen furnishings.
Every room is designed like a private hideaway. Upholstered chairs, crisp linens, and layered curtains create a sense of discreet comfort. The spa and lounge areas extend this mood, with spaces that invite guests to slow down, read, or simply contemplate the lake. It’s a living expression of country club aesthetic home decor but adapted to the Swiss rhythm: serene, precise, and timeless.
Here, textiles play a central role in shaping the feeling of welcome. From the drapes that soften the daylight to the fabrics that add warmth to seating, every detail is tuned to convey calm. La Réserve Geneva embodies an understated refinement, where hospitality is not loud but quietly transformative.
3. Hotel Eden - Rome
Hotel Eden overlooks Rome from the Pincio hill. Its interiors combine Italian grandeur with contemporary hospitality: polished marble, hand-painted frescoes, and dark wood accents.
The common areas recall the poise of country club aesthetic brands: leather club chairs arranged with precision, libraries filled with carefully chosen volumes, and thick rugs softening every step.
In the guestrooms, textiles speak quietly through crisp linens, layered drapes, and upholstered seating. Fabrics are chosen not for show, but for the way they shape light and atmosphere.
Staying here feels like entering a Roman townhouse refined for the modern traveler, where comfort is staged through subtle material choices.
4. Badrutt’s Palace - St. Moritz
In the Engadine, Badrutt’s Palace is an alpine icon. Beyond its legend, what captivates is the warmth of its interiors: grand lounges lined with dark wood, roaring fireplaces, and leather seating.
Here the country club aesthetic takes on a mountain tone, where heavy curtains, deep rugs and upholstered armchairs create intimacy.
In guestrooms, comfort comes through layered linens, textured cushions, and fabrics that contrast with the crisp snow outside. Textiles anchor the mood, not as decorative gestures, but as essential layers of alpine living.
5. Soho House - Barcelona
Facing the sea, Soho House Barcelona redefines the idea of a private club. Interiors mix Mediterranean color with English club references: patterned tiles, leather chairs, and generous light.
Bedrooms embody a cosmopolitan variation of the country club aesthetic outfits translated into interiors. Heavy drapes, linen cushions, and finely chosen fabrics create a balance between casual and refined.
Its atmosphere feels lived-in rather than staged, polished but never stiff. This is an aesthetic that adapts easily, blending seaside light with the grounded warmth of textiles and wood.
Living with Viñas Energy
These five boutique hotels prove that hospitality is not only about service; it is also about design that communicates mood and memory. The country club aesthetic is more than a style: it is a way of arranging space, combining materials, and layering textiles to create atmosphere.
For us at Viñas Genève, this is more than inspiration: it is a confirmation. Comfort can be staged through fabric as much as through architecture. A rug that absorbs sound, a curtain that softens light, a chair upholstered in leather or linen: these are not decorative gestures, but choices that define how a room feels.
That is the Viñas Energy we believe in: design that speaks quietly, comfort that feels immediate, interiors that invite you to stay. And it is the same energy we translate into our throws, so that what you experience in these hotels can also be lived at home, every day.
At Viñas Genève, every throw is designed as a gesture of welcome.
