✨🌿 Where literature meets wellness and longevity.
Expanding its pioneering approach to wellness, Surrenne has partnered with Ultimate Library to launch Surrenne Reads—a quarterly literary review exploring themes at the forefront of wellbeing: gut health, neuroplasticity, longevity, and hormonal balance.
Curated titles are available in their longevity library in the nutritionist-led café and shared with members—alongside exclusive invitations to private author events. At Surrenne Riviera, a dedicated book collection, including French-language editions, is thoughtfully aligned with the club’s signature treatments and wellness rituals.

🧸📖 Why Curated Spaces and Stories Matter: Our Partnership with Worldwide Kids
Worldwide Kids, the global leader in family and childcare services for luxury hospitality, believes children’s spaces should do more than entertain—they should inspire creativity, purposeful play, and learning through interaction.
When designed around a clear narrative and supported by a curated book collection, a kids’ club becomes an immersive world where every detail tells a story.
✨ At Ultimate Library, we share this philosophy. Reading doesn’t stand apart from play—it amplifies it. Discover the value of a curated children’s library

📖✨ Refreshing the Library of a Five-Star London Hotel
In 2014, we curated a library for The Kensington, part of The Doyle Collection—a refined five-star hotel just moments away from the Natural History Museum, Science Museum, and V&A.The brief was clear: to create a collection that spoke to the hotel’s heritage, reflected the cultural fabric of its surroundings, and sparked curiosity in its globally-minded guests.
Since then, the library has become a quietly vital part of the hotel’s atmosphere—perused, enjoyed, and, on occasion, so loved that a title or two has wandered off (which, naturally, we don’t encourage—but do see as a certain kind of compliment).
Over the years, we've continued to work closely with The Kensington, carefully refreshing the shelves to keep the selection current, replacing missing volumes, and introducing new voices and stories. A library is, after all, a living amenity: one that grows, adapts, and evolves with the guests who explore it.
Following our most recent refresh last Thursday, the library is once again ready—thoughtfully stocked, beautifully balanced, and beckoning readers old and new.

🤝💫 What role does the modern lobby play in shaping the guest experience?
Long the ceremonial handshake of a guest’s stay, the hotel lobby once played a purely functional role — a place to check in, check out, and move on. But today, as experiential travel takes precedence over formality, lobbies are being reimagined.
No longer transitional, they’re becoming cultural touchpoints — immersive, expressive spaces that tell a story and invite guests to linger, connect, and engage.
We explore three ways hotels are reshaping their entrances into vibrant reflections of place, personality, and purpose.

✨ 4 Standout Ways Interior Designers Deepen design stories with Books
This summer saw the return of the award-winning showhouse at Design Centre London —and as ever, books play a quietly powerful role, thoughtfully woven into the fabric of each room. Understanding that books spark conversations, designers have used them not just as decorative accents, but as an intentional part of the design language – to extend narrative, evoke a sense of place, and express identity.
Here are four standout ways we saw books deepen the design stories at WOW!house 2025.
1️⃣ Evoke a Sense of Place

2️⃣ Express Identity

3️⃣ Reinforce a Narrative or Theme
