Hospitality Becomes Art
In China, guests expect more than just a comfortable bed and free Wi-Fi.
“Everything must relate to luxury,” explains Karen Kim, senior director of interior design for Marriott International in Asia. She oversees the aesthetics of 45 different hotels across China with 15 more currently in development, and a total of 120 projected over the next several years. It is her responsibility to make sure each new property added under the Marriott aegis—including JW Marriott, Marriott, Renaissance, Courtyard by Marriott and Marriott Executive Apartments brands—conveys the company’s message to its local Chinese patrons and international travelers alike: that the Marriott name assures them an extraordinary experience.

An expert in residential interiors and an admirer of the early Hollywood era, Butera has owned several significant homes, including those of Frank Sinatra, Bette Davis and Desi Arnaz, Jr. Of these properties, Butera is certain of one thing: “I felt like I was respecting their era through their homes,” he reveals.
