Look at the difference — not the theory

v2 (current) vs v3 (proposed) — the same content, side by side.

Each row below renders the same asset twice. Left = current brand kit (Poppins 800, Signal Gold, Cream #F4EDE3, Ink Black). Right = revised v3 (Cormorant Garamond upright, Foil Gold, Warm Cream, Walnut + Espresso). Look at each pair for ten seconds. Navy is out; walnut and chocolate are in; Fraunces is gone. If v3 still doesn't feel like the hotel you want people to remember, we won't ratify it.

Dark surface — neutral ink vs espresso + walnut

The "evening event / winter offer" surface. Left uses v2's neutral Ink Black. Right shows v3's espresso→walnut gradient — chocolate is the luxury dark surface most brands underuse, and walnut already lives in 5 of 6 sampled rooms. Watch how the same foil gold reads on each.

Palette strips — every anchor at once

Sanity check. Same eight anchor tokens per side, so the shift is obvious.

What to look for as you scan

Three things separate the two — and only one of them is subjective.

  • Objectively better in v3: gold contrast on cream lifts from 2.0 : 1 to 3.4 : 1. This is a legal / accessibility win, not a taste one.
  • Property‑aligned in v3: the cream matches actual room walls, walnut #8E5F30 mirrors the wood tone in 5 of 6 sampled rooms, and espresso becomes the deep card / dark‑panel surface. Chocolate + foil gold is the classic warm‑luxury pairing — Rosewood, Ralph Lauren Home, Bulgari, Bottega. Navy has been dropped from the primary palette; it's a photo tone the brand acknowledges but doesn't lead with.
  • Feel difference (taste call): Cormorant Garamond upright sits between Poppins startup and Fraunces couture — the classic Aman / Four Seasons / Le Bristol serif. Editorial without being operatic. Italic is reserved for one‑line poetic accents only.
