MCCARTAN

MCCARTAN is an accomplished multi-disciplinary design firm focusing on interiors, furniture and lighting for the hospitality industry.

The firm's work encompasses an eclectic mix of styles and international influences and is also driven by a sense of detail and tendency to innovate. They maintain the subtleties of modernism while delivering a distinctive point of view in shaping timeless and imaginative environments.

"When Don Marvin first approached me to help create the interior language for AVIA collection, I was immediately taken with LodgeWorks' idea of finding their niche in the boutique hotel industry. Their concept, based on the idea of creating a hotel environment that would encourage people to socialize and interact in a new way was music to my ears. I have always believed strongly that design is as much for people’s feelings as it is for appearances and functionality. With this new directive for the AVIA collection, we delved into the Long Beach and Napa properties and believe we have created two very distinctive and refreshing hotels."

Phillips + Co., Inc.

Phillips + Co., Inc. is an innovation and brand strategy firm based in Chicago. Over the course of about 18 months, they worked closely with LodgeWorks on the creation of the AVIA concept and brand strategy, and the repositioning of Sierra Suites, eventually rebranded Hotel Sierra.

"It isn't surprising LodgeWorks' leadership has been a successful repeat innovator in the hotel industry. They have the rare patience and vision it takes to develop unexpected new concepts and get them to market. After working on innovation projects for many Fortune 500 firms, working with LodgeWorks was a bit of a shock. From the executive team in Wichita to the front desk staff at each hotel we visited, LodgeWorks is a company built on an amazingly consistent level of respect, kindness and dedication that's almost unheard of in corporate America."
