This project was assigned through the hospitality design studio at Auburn University. The project is to create updated spaces for the W Hotel - Union Square. More specifically, W Hotels as a whole are in the process of a complete rebrand and this project will show the proposed design for this rebrand. Each student presented their ideas and received feedback from members of the W's design/architecture team as well as Rockwell Group.
As the W Hotels are doing a rebrand, the design goal for this space is aimed to continue appealing to its previous customers while adding elements to elevate the space to attract new customers as well. Nestled within Union Square Park, the historic building that holds the W Hotel stands as an oasis amidst the bustling city, bringing the growth of its surroundings into its very heart. The hotel and the building itself have come so far from when they originally started up and the people are the ones who made this Union Square location something truly special. The W recognizes that and wants to reciprocate this love by having this location symbolize growth and transformation. Here, guests arrive as strangers, but they leave as part of a community that celebrates what the W Hotel itself is turning into—a hub of culture, creativity, and connection in the heart of the city. In this evolving hub, the W Union Square plans on showcasing both established and emerging music artists of all kinds, allowing them to take center stage and share their artistry with the world. Performers, as well as guests, will be drawn to the hotel’s unique ambiance and the opportunity to connect with their roots in the city that has shaped them. Here people will be celebrating the authenticism of this space. The W Hotel is not just a building; it is a living, breathing testament to the spirit of New York, a place where dreams take root and blossom within the the city. The W Hotel - Union Square will not only be a pit stop within the busy city, but a destination where each guest can feel comfortable, heard, and seen.
