Our services in practice

A lay of the land

Prior to founding Hospitality Design Guild, we had the honor of working at some of the top firms in the country. The following are some samples from our past we’re proud of.

01. Mountain elegance In Beaver Creek

To help bring The Ritz-Carlton’s flagship retreat in Colorado to life, we combined the intimacy and rustic charm of mountain living with the sophistication guests have come to expect from The Ritz creating a space we’d be delighted to spend our own vacations at.

02. Award-Winning Fun In Miami

How do you create differentiation between two vital brands within the same family? Collaborating with Procacci Development, we infused the vibrant energy of Miami within Hilton’s brand standards creating distinct looks for both Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites and won the 2016 New Build Dual Brand of the Year Award by Hilton Worldwide.

03. Mining The Mile High City For Inspiration

Your first impression of a city is often the hotel you stay in while visiting. For The Hyatt Regency Denver, we created an aesthetic based on local minerals evocative of the region’s mining heritage creating an end result that glittered and shined in all the right places.

Who we are
and what we do

An International Approach

Simply put, we don’t work like other firms do. Our fluency in design, brand, and development allows us to better collaborate and see the total picture for every client we serve. We also love being travellers and believe that by immersing ourselves within a particular culture, our designs in turn will better connect with those they are meant to serve.

Our extensive background in hotel development and ownership has taken us all over the United States and the world-at-large adding up to over 20 countries and hundreds of cities along the way over the last 25 years.
This on-the-ground experience gives us the perspective our clients need to successfully launch and operate properties for long-term success.

Finally, we apply our global perspective to every endeavor we tackle from hotels to restaurants, country clubs, and private homes.

Some Kind Words

What others are saying about us

We are only as good as the relationships we make. To us, the greatest compliment we can ever attain is when we get repeat clients forged through partnerships that extend over many years and sometimes even a few laughs. Of course, getting the other kind of compliments makes us feel pretty nice as well.

Katherine and her team have an impeccable eye for detail and work well with everyone from architects, purchasers, installers, and hotel operators.

I worked with and witnessed the implementation of a number of Katherine’s designs on multiple Ritz-Carlton LLC projects over many years. She is always my designer of choice.

Katherine expertly balances the client expectations, design intent, and the budget. She is a true collaborator that makes the process seem effortless.
