Sharing that client-centric approach is Group One Partners, a full-service hospitality design and procurement firm leading the vision for this project.

Group One’s 51-year experience in hospitality and occupied renovations will be a tremendous asset to this project. Working closely with the Ownership, Operations as well as the Construction team, Group One has selected products and materials that will have the appropriate lead times as well as transform the hotel into its next design vision. “It is projects like this where we all have to work seamlessly together towards the common end goal, these are the projects we love to sink our teeth into,” said Harry Wheeler, AIA, Principal of Group One Partners.
