The Chicago Naperville Marriott was a major interior renovation as the hotel was changing from a Holiday Inn to a full-servie Marriott. Working closely with Marriott International, the hotel owner and the hotel operator, we created a new design and identity for the suburban location that appealed to both business travelers and other visitors to the area.
Maintaining Marriott's design standards, while customizing to the context of the area; the interior concept was inspired by the history of the township as a local transportation hub. Capturing the spirit and nostalgia of the golden days of travel; the hotel has been successful at appealing to both business travelers as well as holiday travelers.
This project won the distinguished award from Marriott International for "Opening of the Year" in 2012.
