A Celebration of Stuff – GAY TIMES – Gay Times Magazine

And it’s not like The Ivens doesn’t have a lot of other things to get excited about either. It has plenty. From the doormen in their little safari suits setting the tone for a hotel based on jungle exploration, and two explorers in particular, through a lobby littered with curios from a gorgeous 70s orange glass chandelier to huge art books and chairs and a funny little concierge booth.

Up a very modern metal spiral staircase you’ll find the actual reception – again packed with spears and monkey statues and pictures and a carpet so busy it must have a job on the side – and then into the elevator to rooms that are, by contrast, surprisingly calming… even with the excitement over that table.
