When it comes to luxury and elegance, The Scotsman Hotel in Niagara-on-the-Lake sets the standard. Recently honoured with the prestigious Luxury Lifestyle Awards for Best Luxury Hotel Interior Design in 2024, The Scotsman is a shining example of what happens when visionary design meets unparalleled attention to detail from the Lori Morris Design team.
Originally built in 1805, The Scotsman Hotel underwent a noteworthy renovation under the expert guidance of Lori Morris and her world-class team of designers, decorators, project managers, and support staff.
All materials used in the project were of the highest quality, including the finest marble and stone paired with luxurious fabrics and upholstery. The House of Lori Morris Design’s expertise in sourcing premium materials was instrumental in ensuring that every detail met the highest standards of luxury.
Renowned for her ‘no rules’ artistic philosophy, Lori Morris infuses each project with a unique and unyielding take on sumptuous design, resulting in spaces that are both sexy and distinctive.
“Our no rules approach to design is something that has been basically in my psyche all my life and is my complete way of approaching all design projects,” said Lori Morris during an interview with Luxury Lifestyle Awards. “When it comes to the Scotsman Hotel...I looked at the space which was historical and some of its value and architecture was open to interpretation. In doing so, once we organized the style, the colour palette, the genre, and how we wanted it to feel, we just went to town. To me, beauty is beauty, and whether it comes in all shapes or sizes or colours, it's a general statement of beauty, and that's what this hotel exudes, beauty, elegance, charm, sex appeal and opulence.”
Brenda McArthur, owner of The Scotsman Hotel, also sat down with Luxury Lifestyle Awards to discuss what inspired her to undertake this transformation with Lori Morris Design, and how it feels to see The Scotsman reach a new pinnacle of luxury and design.
“The Scotsman Hotel was an incredibly special project near and dear to my heart. I wanted to create a unique bespoke Country Inn experience for our guests that no other hotel provided in the Greater Niagara area,” said Brenda McArthur.
“I have worked with Lori Morris and her team on other projects and when I discussed my vision of The Scotsman Hotel with Lori, I knew Lori and her team were perfect for this job.
I am so proud of what The Scotsman Hotel is today. It has gone from being a vision I had to a reality. Being awarded the Best Luxury Interior Design by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards is a testament to how special it is! My goal was for our guests to be inspired and excited about their “Scotsman” experience, combining stunning interior design with bespoke customer service that is unparalleled in the industry. Visit The Scotsman Hotel and embrace its Romance, Opulence and Soul.”
