As the granddaughter of the late makeup mogul Estée Lauder, much of Aerin Lauder’s life is centered around beauty, whether it was talking about makeup products, creating a gorgeous home, or perfecting elegant and timeless style.
Lauder was most inspired by her grandmother, who encouraged her to always be true to herself.
“My grandmother always talked about the value in being authentic and told me that if I am passionate and true, success will follow,” Lauder said. “To me, there is no better advice, and I have valued it since I was a young girl.”
Lauder, 50, did just that with her eponymous global luxury lifestyle brand, Aerin. The company offers chic accessories, including handbags and scarves; beauty and fragrance products; home decor and objects (think: a $2,750 shagreen backgammon set); furniture; and lighting. It’s all inspired by her stylized life, which she refers to as “classic with a modern twist.”

The new space caters to hotel guests and the community alike, serving as a gathering place for check-ins and a quick stop for locals to grab cocktails before dinner or sip coffee with the morning’s newspaper. Guests will have access to all-day beverage and cocktail service, and soon the hotel will add a menu so people can order light bites in the lobby.
