Out Now: New Hospitality – Azure Magazine

What does hospitality look like in 2022? Our March/April issue features hotel and restaurant projects that deliver new experiences for a new era. From Neri&Hu’s whisky distillery in China and Arcana’s cabins in the woods of Ontario to the New York hot spots designed by the bright young stars of MN, this latest edition shows a resilient industry thriving into its next chapter.

We also take a step inside the recently expanded Drake Hotel. Toronto’s flophouse-turned-arthouse now boasts a Modern Wing, with architecture by Diamond Schmitt and interiors by DesignAgency. Replete with an art deco bar and marvels from local artists and furniture labels, the Drake is re-asserting its cultural cachet on West Queen West.

Plus, we look at the broader directions the hospitality industry is taking, now and in the future. Our Trend Report, “Guest Service,” explores how inspiring forms, hybrid functionality and full-spectrum programs are delivering hospitality of the most elevated kind.
