Our Brief

We would be lying if we said we weren’t thrilled to asked to be part of the design team behind the new build Hampton by Hilton hotel, based in the heart of Inverness.

As opportunities go, bringing an exciting new prototype to life and being afforded to do so alongside an inspiring and open minded client team, is right up our street.

Our Approach

Our team know that working on a prototype is a question of balance between both the Client and the Brand. Hilton had already reimagined the design for their Hampton by Hilton brand creating vibrant, contemporary public areas and guestrooms, which could be used as lively and informal spaces for their guests to enjoy.

As opportunities go, bringing an exciting new prototype to life and being afforded to do so alongside an inspiring and open minded client team, is right up our street.

The Results

Keeping focussed and on plan was key. The footprint of the hotel was different from the plan in the brand design guide, which brought about a number challenges. Our Design Team got to work analysing the brand standards and were able to draw up a new plan which kept the key elements, required by the brand, and included updates which made sure the Client’s operational priorities were met.

By balancing the prioritise we were able to get the best results in this case a creative layout, giving the brand and guests a lively and informal space and a practical, working solution for the operations team. Happy clients, happy guests!
