Hôtel Silver

Established by Ginger Kilbane in 1988, Hôtel is known for its stylishly curated collection of vintage European hotel silver. After developing custom reproduction collections for several well-known brands over the years, Hôtel recently launched its own luxe private label collection inspired by favorite silver finds from its trove of treasured pieces.

Ginger fell in love with Europen hotel silver when she was sent to Italy in the early 1960's to cover the fashion collections. Breakfast arrived on a silver tray with starched white linens and an "adorable" silver coffee pot with patina and character and she was hooked. It wasn't until years later after careers in fashion, magazines and interior design that Ginger thought others might adore the European hotel silver as much as she did. With her innate sense of style, Ginger's presentation of her hotel silver collection caught the eye of the press and put collecting vintage European hotel silver on the map in the early 1990's. She turned a passion into a business and the rest is history.
