Situated in the Market District, an emerging downtown neighbourhood of the Texan capital, it features 244 guest rooms and suites, in addition to 99 branded residences, spread across 32 floors of a newly built tower. The building, a design by San Francisco-based practice Handel Architects, sees various interiors designed by Kelly Wearstler who not only delved into local history for inspiration, but also blends in local artistry and craftsmanship. The lobby is a lofty light-filled space with coffered walls providing a graphic backdrop for carefully sourced furnishings, including a monolithic reception desk, leather sofas, a glass and steel table, and a wood-and-ceramic grandfather clock.
