Buckley’s Corner Owner,
John Buckley, 23 Dec 2019
LOBBY is not a studio. It’s not an agency. Not a club. Not a podcast.
It’s all of that, and more.
We craft and create hotels, places and all community driven destinations. Based in France.
We create hotel concepts for owners, all over the world, using our in-house method. We are your missing cofounder.
LOBBY LIVING LABORATORY is the place where we build signature concepts that can be handed off, fully-formed, to passionate people who have an asset.
At LOBBY, we are a CRAFT HOUSE with a deep respect for the history of hospitality and a creative soul rooted in the timeless spirit of the 1970s. Our portfolio is a reflection of this ethos—a collection of projects that bridge the past and the future, blending nostalgia with innovation to create spaces that feel both familiar and extraordinary.
Each project we’ve undertaken tells its own story, from boutique hotels that redefine local culture to lifestyle spaces that inspire connection and creativity. What makes our work unique is our commitment to soulfulness in every detail. Whether it’s a mid-century-inspired design, a thoughtful guest experience, or a surprising twist on tradition, we approach every project with the belief that hospitality is more than a service—it’s an art form.
Through our past projects, we’ve demonstrated that great hospitality transcends trends. It’s about creating environments that resonate deeply with people, offering a sense of warmth, wonder, and belonging. This portfolio is our journey, a celebration of the places we’ve brought to life and the stories we’ve told along the way.C
