The Mayfair Motel: bold colour, retro charm, and Palm Springs vibes....all in the heart of Hastings
Welcome to The Mayfair
Bold, playful, and full of character — The Mayfair Motel shows how thoughtful design and the use of colour can turn a roadside stay into something truly special.
The Mayfair Motel in Hastings has had a serious glow-up. Inspired by the distinct style of Palm Springs, Little & Fox Interior Design has injected personality into every corner.
A vibrant palette of Aalto colours energise guest rooms; complementary tiles and original timber finishes complete the look, which perfectly match the motel’s retro charm and quirky character.
Originally built in the 1970s, The Mayfair has always been a cosy, no-fuss spot. The new owners, locals who fell in love with the place, have maintained the heart of the building while adding colour, personality, and thoughtful touches that make every stay feel personal.
Nestled in the heart of Hawke’s Bay, Hastings is all sunshine, culture, and seriously good eats. Minutes from vineyards, the coast, markets, and bike trails, The Mayfair is the perfect funky, fun, and fabulously local base for exploring it all.
With retro flair, a fresh Palm Springs vibe, and a vibrant palette of Aalto colours leading the way, The Mayfair Motel isn’t just renovated—it’s re-imagined. Bold, playful, and full of character, it's the perfect example of how thoughtful design can create something truly unique.
