AHEAD AMERICAS: Awarded for Best Guest Rooms & Best Event Space
GUEST ROOMS | “Featuring exposed painted brick, graphic wallpaper, bold colours, vintage end-cut wood tiles and artwork, Gold Digger’s guestrooms draw inspiration from the Hollywood punk scene of the late 70s and for a series of accommodations indebted to counterculture. Judges noted that: ‘despite the quirky nature of the building, the rooms are very tastefully composed.’”
EVENT SPACES | “Embodies a “Drink. Sleep. Record” concept with its dedicated king-size recording studio and Rock n’ Roll dive bar. Gold Digger’s audience of musicians, music fans, and design enthusiasts are provided a suitably creative environment. ‘A great use of the limited space, super out of the box and full of personality. It takes the meeting space in a new direction,’ judges mused.”
