The Granger Hotel

When I design it’s with intention, sultry storytelling, and artistic playfulness. 1904 has never felt so good. A bold blend of timelessness, texture, color, art, and sheer emotion.

I call it Decade Play

Lead Designer - Erika Baker | A Design Hotel™

The Granger Hotel.

Our client envisioned a bold, artistic, and uniquely immersive experience worthy of The Design Hotels collection—and we delivered. This ambitious project encompassed comprehensive interior design, transforming the main level, lobby, and 96 guest suites from concept to completion. Every detail was thoughtfully curated to create an inspiring and captivating space.

Through innovative creative direction, we developed a vision where balance and unexpected elements seamlessly coexist. Art curation played a central role, showcasing original works by Lead Designer Erika Baker and highlighting her collaborations with local artists. These pieces celebrated cultural talent and added a distinct depth to the space.

Custom furniture design elevated the interiors with bespoke pieces that beautifully balanced form and function. Branding integration further enhanced the design, ensuring the space reflected a cohesive and memorable identity. Practical operational functionality was seamlessly incorporated, blending aesthetic brilliance with usability.

The result is a destination where design, art, and history harmonize effortlessly—a true testament to visionary artistry and flawless execution.
