This reimagined 1969 Brutalist office building is now a lifestyle hotel within the Marriott Tribute Portfolio. The scope included guestroom and suite designs, public spaces, a full-service restaurant, cafe and the rooftop cocktail lounge. The interiors vision, crafted by ESG and the branding partner, embraced the distinctive waffle slab floor plates as a key design starting point. Further layers of mid-1960s through early 1970s touchpoints, via furniture, fabrics and wallcoverings, helped complete the updated narrative of the building’s history. Other local influences, such as the Indy 500, are referenced in the interiors and complete the feel of this new boutique hotel.
