Did I mention that The Betsy had a colonial appearance? That runs right the way through the hotel’s interior, designed by Italian duo Diamante Pedersoli and Carmelina Santoro. Think white Venetian blinds, candy-striped sofas, potted palm trees, classic overhead fans, lots of dark polished wood and Fortuny Scheherazade chandeliers. The whole place has the feel of a sophisticated beach club, where you definitely want to be a member.
