Buckley’s Corner Owner,
John Buckley, 23 Dec 2019
LOBBY was born from a simple yet powerful belief: hospitality should have soul.
In a world where too many places feel standardized, we wanted to champion the independent, the crafted, and the places that tell a story. LOBBY exists to build, curate, and celebrate hospitality with meaning—whether through creating spaces, designing brands, or fostering a community of like-minded creatives.
It’s not just about hotels or restaurants, it’s about the feeling of walking into a place that resonates, where every detail has a purpose, and where the experience stays with you long after you’ve left.
We craft hotel concepts for owners, all over the world from storytelling to graphic design and interior design
At LOBBY, we are a French studio 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.
