Over the past two days, I have been in Florida, specifically between Delray Beach and West Palm Beach, to initiate a Feng Shui analysis. The site has an intriguing history as a family owned and operated hotel (est. in 1925) that is currently functioning as a hostel. During the analysis, we observed which part of the current building's facade would be preserved and integrated into the newly designed hotel.
Inventory of the hotel’s 1925 original furnishings was also taken into consideration, which will be incorporated into the new hotel once it is constructed. Here are a few photos of the current interior of the hotel.
One of the photos showcases an antique mirror that is an original piece and we hope to repurpose it in the new design. In Feng Shui we are very mindful of mirrors, however this one presented energetically neutral feeling (which is great). I believe much of that is due to the manager of the hotel (currently a hostel) who conducts monthly space clearings to keep the energy of the existing three-level building in balance.
Additionally, there is an image featuring three king palms, which has been recommended to be preserved and displayed inside in the new hotel. The choice of royal palms was deliberate from the original hotel owners, as they were meant to represent stability, strength, and permanence. One of the king palms was planted outside the hotel to commemorate its opening in 1925. Two more king palms were planted near the owner’s home, symbolizing their children who eventually took over the hotel.
One of the very first steps to beginning a Feng Shui analysis is investigating the history of a location. From there it reveals a narrative allowing you the opportunity to create a new dialogue for the better.
