Premier is pleased with the completion of the latest renovation to its upscale service hotel: the Hilton Garden Inn Bethesda.
Premier, as part of the $4 million renovation project, provided expertise in interior design, architecture and procurement to transform the hotel’s bar, lounge, restaurant and fitness center. Premier was also responsible for updating the hotel’s arrival and exterior.
The Hilton Garden Inn Bethesda program, designed by Premier’s Interior Design Team, was inspired in part by the urban parks that are within walking distance. The charm of downtown Bethesda lies in the public green spaces, trails and urban environments that are a part of it. This same inspiration was used by Premier’s Interior Design to activate the property. Hilton Brighthearted Program – an initiative to incorporate the needs of the local cultural and business communities by creating community-inspired spaces with a focus on offering authentic local experiences.
Helping the owners optimize the impact of their renovation budget, Premier’s Interior Design team maximized the project’s cost efficiency by cleverly resurfacing, reclaiming, and repurposing existing furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) and built-in millwork, effectively reducing materials and construction expenses, and streamlining the project’s overall timeline.
Laura L. Bennett is the Senior Interior Designer at Premier. She says, “We are very proud of what we did in this hotel’s lobby and great room.” The registration desk was rearranged to make it easier for team members to assist guests. The quick print station has been relocated closer to the front counter, and the sundries section was moved to the former business centre and opened to better merchandise goods and improve revenue-generating opportunities. “Overall, the design captures Hilton Garden Inn’s style and creates an welcoming destination that embraces surrounding neighborhood’s colors, textures, and vibes.”
Premier’s Interior Design team added functionality to the back of the house areas as a value add for the owners. Premier’s Interior Design Team was able, after a thorough analysis of the hotel floor plan to repurpose the underutilized space as new offices for the hotel operations teams.
