HOTEL INDIGO ATLANTA DOWNTOWN, RENOVATION Atlanta, Georgia | Interior Design
7
The Hotel Indigo Atlanta Downtown is at the heart of the sprawling mixed-use complex of Peachtree Center which was developed by legendary local architect John Portman. Mr. Portman himself led the adaptive reuse project in the early 2010’s sculpting the bottom floors of one of his original office towers into a boutique hotel that features his signature neofuturistic style and several personal large scale artworks. TVS is currently working to refresh the public areas and guestrooms, adding personality and an approachable upscale aesthetic, while respecting the personal touches Mr. Portman bestowed. The repositioning of the lobby bar and café is of particular note as it aims for a stronger connection to the active surrounding neighborhood. Located next to the areas busiest train station, and directly connected to the bustling America’s Mart, the hotel features 206 guestrooms, fitness center and over 4,000 sf of meeting space.

The Cincinnatian (originally called the Palace Hotel) was built in 1882 and is now a landmark on the historic hotel registry. The key design efforts in rebranding this property to a Curio were architectural replanning of the lobby level public areas, while maintaining some historic features such as the skylit atrium and the grand wood staircase. The new space focuses on creating a vintage modern aesthetic with quirky artistic features throughout. Notable additions include relocating the registration area, creating a local curiosities retail nook, adding a new corner bar with street access and a bistro market.

The design of this hotel renovation was inspired by local influences including the lush landscape of the nearby Hot Springs National Park, the shapes and patterns found in the architecture of the iconic bath houses along Bathhouse Row just a few blocks away, and the transparency, texture and sparkle of the local quartz crystal. The design was driven by the concept and strategically crafted to meet brand standards. The client engaged the design team to reimagine the property’s guestrooms and public spaces, including reception, atrium with bar and breakfast buffet, restrooms, fitness center, ballrooms and meeting rooms. Additionally, areas were converted to add additional meeting rooms to maximize the property’s revenue targets. 246 guestrooms were renovated across all space types, including king and double queen rooms, corner suites, two presidential suites and all ADA rooms, which included conversions and updates to meet current codes.

33
Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort, Ocean Suites is the 259-key, resort-style, beachfront, all-suite hotel section of the Renaissance Aruba Resort and Casino. Located in the marina area, adjacent to downtown Oranjestad’s shopping, dining and nightlife, this resort is perfect for those seeking an active vacation. Aruba, a place where the crashing surf meets the wind-blown desert sands. Flowering cacti and colorful, multicultural buildings stand out boldly against the rugged landscape of Aruba. Sculpted cliff side rock formations weathered from the sea and wavy textured sands glowing pink as the sunset alongside the sculptural forms of the local divi-divi tree reflecting over the clear depths of the turquoise water define the ‘happy island’ and its landscape of many personalities. The suite design transports the guests back to that desert oasis. The coral sky and rushing surf appear on the colorful walls, the organic textures of the salt and sand inspire the carpet design and fabric selections while the native cave paintings influence the design of the headboard. Pops of green reference the islands miles of cactus groves and lush vegetation leaving the guest with a sense of warmth and wonder.

HYATT REGENCY O’HARE, GUESTROOM AND SUITE, RENOVATION Rosemont, Illinois | Architecture and Interior Design
37
In 1969 the Hyatt Regency O’Hare, the second of the dramatic Hyatt atrium hotels to be built, opened for business. Over the ensuing years the hotel was expanded, spaces were repurposed and the nature of the hotel’s business had changed. TVS worked with Hyatt Hotels to look at the property holistically and see how to bring new life and better functionality to this asset. This building was previously brutal and uninviting, and our team was brought in to rethink its lobby and arrival spaces for a more comforting and inspiring experience. While we ultimately went on to redesign guestrooms and most other areas of this hotel, the reconfiguration and upgrade of the lobby was the first step in making this property successful again. Reception, restaurants, arrival and other functions were replanned around a lobby that was relocated to a more dramatic second floor that had been previously underused. Recent renovations include all 1095 guestrooms and suites to create a modern and fresh aesthetic inspired by the precision and fluidity of flight, offering a seamless transition between travel and relaxation by creating of a tranquil yet elevated retreat.

MARRIOTT MARQUIS SAN DIEGO MARINA , RENOVATION AND EXPANSION San Diego, California | Architecture and Interior Design - Multiple phases. Ballroom shown was all new construction.
41
Before the expansion construction even began, the property knew they wanted their brand to be ‘Cool, Coastal California,’ a theme the designers executed through simplistic, organic beauty and complex technology throughout project. This project brings a new design aesthetic with the repositioning of the existing amenity spaces and all the meeting spaces below the grand hotel’s north and south guestroom towers. Featuring a new grab ‘n’ go outlet, a lobby bar, lounge and three-meal destination restaurant, level two of the South Tower has become the heart and hub of the hotel. In San Diego, all new, private construction must devote one percentage of its budget to public art. The challenge was met through a focal light piece. With both pinned and graduated strands of more than 400,000 Swarovski crystals surrounded by laser-cut stainless-steel panels suspended from the ceiling, the statement light fixture, ‘Tidal,’ embodies the conceptual theme. The expansion has increased the meeting, indoor and outdoor event space to 280,000 sf. With the addition of the Marriott Grand Ballroom and Pacific Ballroom, two 36,000 sf ballrooms that can each accommodate up to 3,700 guests, the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina now hosts events in the largest ballroom on the West Coast. The ballroom on the first level boasts more than 19,000 sf of prefunction space, while the ballroom on the second level has nearly 27,000 sf of prefunction. By drawing inspiration from the San Diego landscape with its iconic coastline and capturing a sense of fluidity and movement throughout, the designers created an artful space that truly encapsulates ‘Cool, Coastal California.’

THE RITZ-CARLTON - AMELIA ISLAND, RENOVATION AND BALLROOM EXPANSION Amelia Island, Florida | Architecture and Interior Design
46
The Ritz-Carlton at Amelia Island is an idyllic location on the Atlantic for weddings and business meetings. They found they needed an additional ballroom to serve their business needs, but their site was restricted. The new ballroom was located on top of an existing parking garage, providing an additional 12,000 sf of ballroom, prefunction and public space. The ballroom design had to work with the existing deck structure, so the design challenge was to place all of the required functions within that system, and create a space that is subdivided into eight salons, and yet works well as a single space for large receptions. The theme for the redesigned property revolves around the southern coastal imagery, so motifs involving water, magnolias, and live oaks were selected for the interiors. The exterior is an updated traditional expression of the existing property. The addition acts to mask the parking garage and fits seamlessly with the larger façade of the existing hotel building. The service connections and several meeting spaces were modified to provide the tie-in to the existing service system, and the back-of-house systems for the meeting facility were reorganized and streamlined.
