“Hotels couldn’t meet my needs in the mid

it’s gotten better since, but there is always room
for improvement.
“Just basic ramping and access needs to be
improved,” he says. He mentioned he was at a
resort where the walkway from the hotel to the

ocean was a foot-wide cobblestone path. “They
could easily make those 3-feet wide,” he says. “It would still look
aesthetically pleasing.”
At another, older resort, Dagostino had to go through the laundry
room and use the freight elevator to get to his room. All of the
design features of the lobby area and entrance aren’t useful if some
guests never get to see them.
But the most important area of focus in terms of accessibility is
in the bathroom. Danise Levine, the assistant director at the Center Safe shower 䊲

use a bathroom that’s designed to be accessible,” she says.
Levine and her team research new universal design concepts
beyond ADA regulations. One issue of critical value for the hotel
guest is “wayfinding”—designing the proper markers, signage and
sightlines so all people can navigate through the hotel and find what
they need.
“Because you have people coming who may not speak the lan-
guage, like at Disney, how do you accommodate [them]?” she says.
“Is it pictures? Is it one sign with five or six different languages on it?”
Some creativity may work with wayfinding, like making different
floors different themes or color schemes to provide familiarity, she
says.

Park Hyatt Macka Palace adds
subtle contemporary flair to a city
rich with tradition
PHOTOGRAPHY / ERIC LAIGNEL
or a hotel to take on the characteristics of its
F locality, designers from the beginning stages

must be fluent in the cultural landscape of the
area. Before being named the lead architect and
interior design firm for the Park Hyatt Macka Palace in
Istanbul, Gerner Kronick + Valcarcel had been working
in Turkey’s largest city for a number of years and were
very familiar with the site and with what the property
owner wanted to achieve.
“There are a number of wealthy families in Turkey,
and we have designed quite a few buildings for them,”
says Randy Gerner, principal. “Because of that relation-
ship, they asked us to design this hotel. Hyatt had never
heard of us, but they embraced the idea of working with
us.”
The Park Hyatt Macka Palace is located in a
bustling portion of the city, which Gerner describes as
“hip—similar to New York’s SoHo district.” Designing
the luxury hotel consisted of restoring Macka Palace,
built near the turn of the 20th century, and construct-
ing an additional palace adjacent to the Macka for the
public spaces.
“The design philosophy was based on the fact that
this building is both new and old,” Gerner says. “It’s
historic because of the authenticity and the building’s
interaction with the neighborhood, and it’s modern
because the facilities are very up-to-date. We used this
as a theme throughout the hotel.”

JUL/AUG 2009 | Hotel Design 13
historic renovation
Gerner says the Park Hyatt was

designed to offer privacy, which
would give the guest a greater
sense of importance. To access the
lobby, guests enter the Petit Palace
through an entrance off a side
street. “The signage isn’t in your
face, it’s very restrained,” Gerner
says. “You don’t know what’s go-
ing on inside until you’re actually
inside.”
Guests must walk through the
lobby, forcing them to interact
with what the public space has
to offer, in order to access the
front desk. From there, they are
directed to a framed entrance to
the historic Macka Palace, where
they can take escalators to one of
90 large guestrooms.
The sleeping portion of the
guestroom is closest to the win-
dows; a French balcony is attached
to each room; light fixtures are all

A curved-glass enclosed wet
room, nearly 250 square feet, is the
most modern part of the room.
Gerner says because Istanbul is
literally a place where East meets
West, several different cultures had
to be present in the bathing room.
“There are five different bathing
experiences—a splash tub, a rain
shower, light color therapy, a steam
shower and the traditional Turkish
bath—all of which are designed to
soothe the nerves, ease the tension
and create a lasting impression,”
he says.

for more than 200 international properties.
The latest trend, ushered in by the current
economic climate, is creatively building an art col-
lection with fewer dollars—a concept that can be

“We may curate a collection that is [made of]
mostly emerging, and therefore less expensive,
artists,” Warren-Grady says. “Or, we may focus
on acquiring a few key original pieces for promi-
nent places such as the lobby, main restaurant
and prominent exterior space while the rest of the
collection may be editioned work.”
Nunzio DeSantis Nunzio DeSantis, EVP with HKS Hill Glazier
Studio, believes the best art for hotels, currently,
is earthy and raw three-dimensional pieces that have elements of
space, color, movement and shadow.
“I like when you combine art with light at night,” he says. “It
creates a phenomenal sculptural tonal quality on the ceiling—the
shade and shadows—it gives an overlooked plane like the ceiling a
different dimension. It becomes animated.”
Regardless of specific art genre or medium, the over-arching
hospitality trend has been to look locally for whatever is needed.
“Try to hire people that know what’s going on in the local art
community,” DeSantis says. “In cultural regions, look for rawness of
art–the rawer the better. We always see finished art, but we want
something that’s a little more primitive and interpretive.”
Art curators and consultants are playing a bigger role in the
process and, beyond the local art considerations, should be con-
tacted early in the planning stages.
“I like to sit down and feel what their whole concept is about
and then find pieces to complement it,” Lowenstein-Elortegui says.
“The art should match the color palette but speak for itself. You
have to work in advance, and find that right wall that will go with
the furniture that won’t take away from importance of the piece.”

EPIC Residences & Hotel, Miami
Diana Lowenstein Fine Arts amassed an extensive $2-million art
collection at the EPIC Miami from artists that include James Brown,
Roberto Matta, Dario Basso, Fernando DeSzyszlo, Jose Bechara,
Karina Wisniewska, Alexis Gorodine, Gye Hoon Park and Ola Koleh-
mainen. The art is located throughout EPIC’s expansive lobby and
indoor common areas. The focal piece of the collection is a large out-
door sculpture by Polish artist Xawery Wolski, composed of bronze in
a white patina that is a reflection of the sculptor’s aesthetic, blending
elements of the past and present to form one unified work. The
collection overall comprises 94 pieces and blends with the property’s
urban style.

Instead of incorporating an art collection into a hotel, 21c incorporat-
ed a hotel into its art collection. With more than 9,000 square feet of
exhibit space, 21c features group and solo exhibitions, a video lounge
and permanent commissioned installments. The art comes from the
personal collection of owners Laura Lee Brown and Steve Wilson and
is open free to the public 24 hours a day. Five 18th century buildings
were combined to create 21c, and the design highlights historical
elements of the original buildings, such as exposed brick, arches and
prismatic leaded glass transoms. The interiors feature hand-knotted
rugs, hand-blocked linen upholstery and reclaimed wood floors.

Sue Brush
SVP, GLOBAL BRAND LEADER, WESTIN HOTELS & RESORTS
TO ME, HOSPITALITY MEANS creating memorable, on-brand

guest experiences. It also means creating refined interior spaces for
guests to relax and be personally renewed. Westin achieves that with
muted tones, natural fabrics and functional furnishings.

I GET CREATIVE INSPIRATION FROM traveling the world.
Seeing and experiencing different cuisines and cultures is a great way to broaden one’s perspective and
think big thoughts. I also get creative inspiration early in the morning when I’m jogging or taking a shower.
There’s something about starting the day feeling rested and ready for the day ahead—that’s when the
good ideas come forth.
