颱風夜，想起今年在普吉島下榻的Double Tree
輕奢風挑高、混合的建築多元媒材，自由不失體面和格調
禮遇感和鬆弛感，原來是不衝突的。

泳池、茅草屋頂與棕櫚樹相映襯，保留南洋度假的自由氣息

我很喜歡這裡所呈現的氛圍——不刻意張揚，也不過度迎合。從空間尺度、材質搭配，到服務細節，都讓人感受到被好好款待的禮遇感；同時，又能自在地放慢腳步，卸下維持的端正。

真正舒適的度假，從住進一間有分寸、美感飯店開始；然後重新感受被遺忘的自由與從容。

On a typhoon night, I find myself thinking back to this year’s stay at the DoubleTree in Phuket.

With its soaring ceilings, understated luxury, and thoughtful blend of architectural materials, the hotel feels relaxed yet refined—free-spirited without ever losing its sense of elegance and composure.

The pool, thatched roofs, and palm trees come together beautifully, preserving the effortless tropical spirit of a Southern island escape.

I especially loved the atmosphere here—never overly showy, never trying too hard to please. From the scale of the spaces and the choice of materials to the attentive details of the service, everything creates a genuine sense of being well cared for. At the same time, it allows you to slow down, unwind, and let go of the need to remain composed.

A truly comfortable holiday begins with staying somewhere that has both restraint and beauty—and from there, rediscovering the freedom and ease we so often forget.
