There’s a certain segment of the population, including many hotel designers, that equates luxury and elegance with the traditional Colonial look. That’s why one often runs across hotel buildings that look all modern and simple on the outside, but once inside, they’re all broken pediments, crown moldings, bejeweled chandeliers and wainscoting.
That pretty much describes the cognitive dissonance one experienced upon entering the Sheraton Society Hill Hotel on Dock Street. Then the Buccini Pollin Group got its hands on the property and brought in Krause Sawyer to reimagine it and PM Hotel Group to run it.
