MONOGRAM Hospitality Interiors at BBGM is proud to share that the Kimpton Lorien Hotel & Spa has been awarded the 2018 Stella Award for Best Renovation in the Northeast Region. Located in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, the Kimpton Lorien Hotel & Spa completed a $2.51-million redesign of multiple areas at the property earlier this year.
The design inspiration was derived from the name of the hotel – Lorien, the mythical God of Dreams. The goal was to create a soft, ethereal color palette to promote a relaxing, spa-like Guest experience. The custom corridor carpets are an abstracted cloud pattern that represents the notion of walking on clouds to your sleep experience. Molding trims were added to accent areas in the corridors in order to pay homage to the classic architectural style of the building. Traditional accents are offset by the modern splatter artwork expressions and new sculptural decorative lighting.
The 107 guestrooms and suites carry a fresh white on white palette featuring a bleached wood headboard and white asymmetrical modern nightstands. The focal point of the room is a large Rorschach-inspired artwork created over ombre’ wallcovering at the headboard wall that invites curiosity and personal interpretation.
