The Clift Royal Sonesta Hotel

The Sound Hotel Seattle Belltown – Tapestry Collection® by Hilton
Seattle, WA
Design Firm: Hirsch Bedner Associates
Inside the guest rooms and suites, an array of custom giclees in muted colors, art prints of iconic Seattle imagery and Pacific Northwest sights, and sheet music-turned-art are hung throughout. Super graphics featuring Seattle skylines, fractured records, keyboards and sound waves give rooms and suites a one-of-a-kind feeling that is the trademark of Hilton Tapestry properties. Still looking for pieces that make a big statement? Check in on the club lounge, the residences reception and bar, which all feature large-scale murals.
C. Baldwin Hotel
Houston, TX
Design Firm: Rottet Studio
Texas pride and boss lady vibes are on full display at the C. Baldwin Hotel. For this property, a uniquely Texas-blend of female empowerment and Southern irreverence informed the art curation by Kevin Barry Fine Art, resulting in a boutique hotel with personality to spare.

Remember to look for us in the September issue of Hospitality Design magazine where all the finalists and winners from each category will be featured.
Congrats to all involved!
