Morgan RÆ L’eautElier

As an experienced guide to aquatic living, Morgan Ræ brings her decades of hospitality research to style the circular economy and deep sea space. To elevate the standards of design and raise awareness of our water connection, L’eautelier is part-studio, part-host, mixed with the fluidity and resilience of its element of choice. 

L’eautelier recently hosted the Dreams Do Come True Exposé during the 2022 UN Ocean Conference in Lisbon and was co-host of the I ♡ NY Sea water awareness series during the 2023 UN Water Conference. 

Ræ’s latest accolades include four design awards including #44 of the 2023 Worlds 50 Best Hotels and 2021 Radical Innovation. Ræ has also been featured on numerous podcasts including Seasteading Today and Top Floor, for her aquatic design. Having worked on over 100 projects worldwide, holding over 25 years of experience, and is one of the pioneers of the nomadic design studio concept.

Ræ has worked with recognized hotel brands, including Kerzner’s Atlantis and One&Only Resorts, Nômade, SohoHouse & 1Hotels, Westin, Sheraton, 11Howard, Fairmount, Fontainebleau, Cosmopolitan Las Vegas, Hard Rock, MGM, Selina, and hospitality-focused residences such as BMW’s Mini Living and aquatic companies like America’s Cup and Royal Caribbean. 

Current works include a subaquatic hotel called Casa Piña which is designed specifically for solo travelers wanting a digital detox. Future guests are required to undergo a training process to learn how to transition to an “aquatic lifestyle” and to prepare them for a week-long underwater stay in the Bungal’eau.
