"Gorgeous Guest Rooms\nFor a weary traveler, a stylish, well-appointed guest room gives a sense of comfort hotels can't match. We've gathered a dozen chic examples from AD's archives that would make any visitor want to stay awhile\nArchitectural designer E. Claudio Modola created a relaxed retreat for Robert and Domitilla Peugeot on the island of Lamu, off the Kenyan coast. This breezy guest room's intricately carved Swahili beds are complemented by netting and patchwork bolsters. (August 2010)\nFor a Miami penthouse apartment, AD 100 designer Jennifer Post used white with touches of blue, a nod to the home's ocean vistas, in the guest room. A transparent wall separates the room from the hallway while maintaining the spectacular views. The glass turns opaque at the touch of a button for privacy. (July 2009)\nAD 100 designer Juan Pablo Molyneux's home in the Ch\u00E2teau du Marais near Paris includes a sumptuous spare room for visitors, which Molyneux formed by combining two small chambers. The expansive space is furnished with club chairs and Consulat iron sleigh beds and unified by blue-and-white fabric. (September 2006)\nDesigner Michael Clattenburg paired a whimsical wall covering depicting rows of bookshelves with bold green paint in guest quarters he devised for a bachelor businessman in Dubai. Custom-made twin beds feature soaring canopies that accentuate the height of the room. (August 2007)\nVisitors to a Colorado ranch designed by William Sofield of Studio Sofield stay in the \"caboose\" guesthouse, a cozy log-cabin-style structure with rooms aligned in a boxcar configuration. A bunk is illuminated by a vintage Westinghouse lightbulb display and can be closed off by a curtain of a Rogers &amp;amp; Goffigon fabric. (June 2010)\nIn the guest room of his Manhattan townhouse, AD 100 decorator Geoffrey Bradfield experimented with a black-and-white toile depicting the city skyline to create a modern take on a traditional design concept. The upholstered headboard was inspired by one in a Dubai hotel. (September 2005)\nFor his Miami Beach pied-\u00E0-terre, AD 100 designer John Barman planned a multifunctional space that can be used as a study or as a bedroom when he has visitors. A yellow floor-to-ceiling pocket door can close off the living room or allow uninterrupted views. Turquoise and royal-blue pillows, buttercup-yellow bedcovers, and vibrant paintings enliven the white room. (September 2010)\nFor a beach house in the Dominican Republic, AD 100 designer Juan Montoya used traditional dark-wood and rattan furnishings to give a guest room, one of five in the home, a British Colonial feel. The shutters repeat the X motif used throughout the residence. (August 2005)\nFashion designer Lauren Sara opted for minimal but homey decor in the guest room of her house outside Philadelphia. Modern elements, such as a platform bed and Saarinen Womb chair, are combined with traditional antiques, including an early-19th-century John Brewster Jr. portrait and a rare circa-1875 footed basket. (June 2006)\nA Tudor mansion on Long Island Sound in Greenwich, Connecticut, was given a spirited makeover by AD 100 architect Peter Marino. Sleek black-lacquer tester beds and a bright convex sunburst mirror add edge to a classic blue-and-white guest room. (May 2008)\nLandscape architect Douglas Reed enlisted friend and AD 100 interior designer Thad Hayes to decorate his weekend house outside Boston. In keeping with the owner's desire for simplicity, Hayes installed the same bed, nightstands, and rug in the guest and master bedrooms. A gouache by Sol LeWitt gives the guest quarters a burst of color and originality. (June 2007)\nDecorator Graham Viney gave Stellenberg, one of Cape Town, South Africa's oldest homesteads, a new look that reflects the area's Dutch, French, and English colonial influences. One of the bedrooms was sheathed in a ivory toile de Jouy, which was also used for the chair, bed, and canopy. The romantic look is enhanced by the chandelier and gilded mirror.
