2013 gold key AwArds
Best Hotel midscAle
winner
Courtyard by Marriott -
San diego downtown
Designer
SERA Architects, Portland, Ore.
The brief Update not only the look of this
245-room property, but also its attitude-placing
more emphasis on its stylistic roots, the locale
and a rich network of the area's artists and artisans. Balance the 70-year-old Italian Romanesque
architecture with sleek new design elements that
reflect the needs of modern travelers and support
brand identity.
The Takeaway Layer both the design
elements and the spaces for maximum impact.
Blown-glass fixtures suspended above the bar
draw the eye upward, as do the painted beams
of the Presidential Suite. Large "walls" of draperies create areas for intimate conversations
within the billiard room. The guest rooms offer a
series of interesting sight lines with patterned
carpeting, an inventively geometric headboard
detail and the curving arch of the windows.

The magic From a 2013 perspective, the 1994
conversion of the San Diego Trust & Savings
Bank building into a Courtyard hotel left a lot
of aesthetic currency on the table. Attention to
detail and creative programming revealed a
treasure. The original, intricately painted ceiling
inspires the bold graphics and large-scale textile
motifs that modernize the grandeur of the lobby.
SERA's team answered guest demand for public
work-space by framing the Living Rooms' media
pods with tall, channel-back upholstered pieces.
In the guest rooms, custom lacquered screens
provide a time-honored solution for a contemporary, zoned layout with distinct lounging
and sleeping zones. A trip to the lower level
revealed a series of vaults. Those now serve as six
meeting rooms, including the Safe Deposit Room
with walls lined floor-to-ceiling with safe deposit
boxes and a central marble conference table. To
link in the community, the art work was selected
and commissioned by local artists.
