Architectural Resources Group

Mind blowingly creative and accomplished historic architects. These guys did a full seismic retrofit, andf full rennovation within SHPPO historic guidelines, melding it with modern ADA guidelines and coding. 13 historic lodging units, and 8 public common historic buildings that used to be single residence living quarters in the early 1900’s had to be adaptively restored to create an environment that was suitable for multi-​unit lodging buildings, with the functionality of technology and in room amenities of a modern hotel, while still maintaining the aesthetic and impact of the historic footprint of the property.
These rooms would have been creaky and drafty if they had been done by anyone else. Seriously… I started in historic hotels. I have been in most on that damn HHoA register…
What they have done here, with the help of Herrero and the AMAZING Xavier Lanier… they did the impossible.
They restored the entirety of the hand stamped tin ceilings, added resonant channels and acoustical dampening devices, and so many other wonderful things that made them liveable again. They created a warm, historic, lush and comfortable feel… crossing the old with the new… in response to the necessity of being rigorous about following SHPPO. They were endlessly patient with the historic parks architects, and doing everything possible to make it a successful venture. The common areas, reception, meeting rooms, and ESPECIALLY the bar, restaurant, and grand ballroom area are astonishing.
Amazing people… Debbie is a wonder. Gary and Sarah are AWESOME!
If you already have the headache of restoring historic buildings, and you somehow found yourself here…
Don’t hesitate to call and hire them… NOW. Headache gone.
Our project would not have happened without them.
