With an emphasis on the use of local products, The Hyatt Regency Minneapolis hotel in Minneapolis, MN, is truly a reflection of its environment. The design team from Stonehill & Taylor consciously took a “local” approach when conceiving the design for the renovation project — with the majority of the furniture, fixtures and natural stone all coming from North America.
“The overall goal was to create a contemporary look that would evoke an emotion about the location of the hotel, and an elevated experience for hotel guests,” explained Michael Suomi, Principal and Vice President of Interior Design at Stonehill & Taylor of New York, NY. “Through our design, we wanted to celebrate the heritage of Minnesota and the industries that gave the state its strength. To take this beyond aesthetics, we set ourselves a goal of using as much materials and products produced within 500 miles of Minneapolis as we could.”
