Fine art photographer Gray Malin has partnered with The Beverly Hills Hotel for his debut experiential design project, The Gray Malin Cabana at The Beverly Hills Hotel. For well over a century, The Beverly Hills Hotel has been the go-to destination for Hollywood’s finest, the ultimate beacon of glamour in Los Angeles. With a rich history of providing exceptional experiences for hotel guests while lounging poolside, the cabanas at The Beverly Hills Hotel are synonymous with luxurious leisure, which Malin honors through his curated redesign.
Marking a milestone for the Gray Malin brand, designing this cabana was Malin’s first comprehensive design project which showcases his design expertise in an iconic fashion and features a public display of his artwork. Designed with an effortlessly classic and chic California style in mind, Malin partnered with Serena & Lily to outfit the cabana with the brand’s coastal meets sophisticated furnishings, while also paying tribute to the iconic design and history of the hotel with CW Stockwell’s signature banana leaf wallpaper, Martinique, which has graced the walls of the Beverly Hills Hotel since it was first installed in 1949.
The color palette draws inspiration from relaxing coastal tones and vintage glamour, incorporating natural hues such as sand, pink, white and green in an array of solid and patterned fabrics and textiles. Rattans, raffias and other natural textures makes the cabana feel like a relaxing retreat, with elements like refined custom chaises, a handwoven rug, hanging chair, and an inviting sofa that enhance the comfortable yet elevated design. The featured furnishings make the cabana feel like a relaxing retreat, combining rattan and basketweave textures, a hand woven rug and an inviting sectional sofa that enhances the comfortable yet elevated design.
The Gray Malin Cabana also features an upgrade to the fabrication of the canopy, incorporating a custom look with eye-catching pink and white stripes. Other notable alluring details that Malin included are hand-stitched decorative throw pillows and blankets, a new outdoor umbrella with elegant tassels, and vintage props styled to complete the look.
While enjoying a day of leisure at the cabana, timeless Hollywood glamour is ever present courtesy of prints from Malin’s fine art photography series Gray Malin at The Beverly Hills Hotel which adorn the walls. The collection celebrates the heritage of the property, inspired by its charming grounds and tinseltown history while incorporating Malin’s signature modern-day style. Scenes of beautiful people in vintage wardrobe and props from the 1950s and 1960s capture the jet set lifestyle and splendid luxury of Los Angeles’ Golden Age.
