myworld interview - Joel at Cocomaya


Today we have the pleasure of chatting with Joel, one of the owners of Cocomaya  Fine Chocolatier & Artisan Baker. myhotels currently have the pleasure of working with them for the Easter Feast package! www.cocomaya.co.uk  


myworld: What are you up to today? 

J: We're working on our new shop on Brompton Road, finalizing menus and working with builders. 

myworld: Anything super hip you’re working on that you wouldn’t mind sharing with myworld? 

J: We're doing a range of chocolate bars and truffles boxes based on travel and curating flavours from around the world.

myworld: If you were designing a hotel bedroom what would be amongst your top 3 prerequisites? 

J: Great linen, super mattress and fresh air!

myworld: Our design philosophy takes into account the 5 senses – of all of them, which is your favourite and why? 

J: Smell.  I have always loved scent of any kind from incense to oils or soaps. Smell has always been the one thing that evokes memory and generally rocks my world. I particularly love the smell of clean linen and  a steaming hot bath with Egyptian rose oil and geranium, the sea lapping outside and the taste of salt on my lips. Heaven.
