We’ve all nabbed a notepad and pen from a fancy hotel and thrown it in a junk drawer at home, never to look at it again. But take a leaf out of LA-based artist Michael McGregor’s new book Room Service — a compilation of more than 100 colourful Hockney-esque illustrations on hotel stationery from around the world. Featuring The Ritz Carlton, Chateau Marmont and even our very own Claridge’s (see opposite for some inspiration on which to steal next. We’re after the Madonna Inn’s perfect pink notepad). When ES Magazine catches up with McGregor, we find he is sick in bed in a Paris hotel — arguably there are less chic places to be poorly.
ES: How are you feeling?
