This Hilton dual branded property in Kalamazoo, MI features both new construction and adaptive reuse and was Green Globe certified in May 2021. The 6-story, 114 room Hilton Garden Inn is located in the historic Rose Street Market building, which was originally constructed in 1915 as a Masonic temple and was later used for shops and offices. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Maintaining the original architectural integrity was key so the public spaces incorporate the three stacked ceremonial auditoriums.  Premium guestrooms feature large round windows original to the building, providing a “portal” view of the cityscape.  Research into the building’s history informed the color palette and overall interior design.  Actual instruments from Heritage Guitars and scenes from the iconic local factory (formerly Gibson Guitar Factory) feature prominently in the art throughout.

Shared amenity spaces include 2100 SF of meeting space, saline pool, fitness center, outdoor courtyard with fire pit and full-service restaurant and bar.

The Mercantile is a boutique hotel in the heart of the Arts and Warehouse District of New Orleans.

The industrial style of The Mercantile’s previous life is celebrated throughout the design from the iron studded details on the guestroom furniture to the exposed light bulbs and reclaimed wood planked ceiling above the bar. The rich, vibrant colors incorporated throughout the design, are representational of the energetic culture that is New Orleans.

This Marriott property is a 200-room, new construction completed in 2019. The registration desk, lobby, bar, meeting room, and dining areas are located on the fourth floor, and with floor to ceiling windows spanning across the south side, guests are welcomed with a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Mexico. The refined design is inspired by the soft lines and hues of the oceanfront at sunset.

The property, completed in 2017, is located in the Saratoga Springs historic district, so the design melds with the charm of the famous horse racing town.
