Michael Mueller, NYLO Hotels’
president and ceo, says it was
Matthews Southwest’s overarching
vision that made this spot just south
of Interstate 30 on South Lamar
Street the perfect home for NYLO’s
latest locale (which is also the brand’s
first conversion property). “What

addition, designers borrowed granite
cladding from the façade, which was
not original to the building, and used
it to erect a monument sign, a fire
pit and (in crushed form) as part of
the landscaping. They also reused
reclaimed wood and brick salvaged
from nearby buildings.
