伊布-达尼丁

The architectural tide is turning in New Zealand’s southerly city with the arrival of Ebb-Dunedin, a contemporary stay that’s a cleverly designed retreat from the land, with rooms dressed à la mode, light-filled lounges on every floor, centred around an atrium garden, and crowned by a retractable roof. But there’s flow as well as ebb at this boutique bolthole: the city’s influence washes ashore in interior-design nods to its fin-de-siècle architecture; a reverence for sustainable organic produce at the hotel’s café; and a hyper-local supply chain bringing Otago charm to everything from minibars to the hotel’s art-printed façade. Sydney-based Indyk Architects were inspired by the city’s fin-de-siècle architecture to create contemporary interiors featuring natural stone, and oak joinery: colour palettes are largely monochrome, but incorporate soft-green accents and flashes of brick-red.
