Bouncing Around the Wallpapers

The Crosby Hotel, New York City
Sumptuous lavender and green festoon every surface of the junior suite at the Crosby Street Hotel (FirmdaleHotel.com; from $895), where vertical wall stripes offset fuschia throw pillows. The hotel's luxe suites (from $2,250) drip with green paisley inspired by British Orientalism.

The Soho Hotel, London
Interior guru Kit Kemp handpicked the papers for the 91 rooms (from $450), with twigs, pheasants, and verdant foliage invoking Britain's rural splendor in the junior suites. But the hotel dining room lightens the mood with confetti-inspired coverings.

Townhouse Hotel, Zurich
Zurich's Townhouse Hotel (Townhouse.ch; from $300) features hot pink and fluorescent blue stencils of the traditional French bouquet, giving guest rooms a modern twist on a European classic.

Hotel Daniel, Paris
The room walls at the Hotel Daniel in Paris (HotelDanielParis.com; from $780) burst with elaborate tropical landscapes, lush cherry-blossom patterns, and, in some cases, joyous figures gallivanting through Japanese countrysides.
