The public spaces of the Omni Austin Hotel Downtown recently received a makeover – creating a fresh and welcoming atmosphere for its guests. Tasked with designing intimate areas within an expansive lobby, as well as pulling in local city culture, the design team at Jeffrey Beers International (JBI) of New York, NY turned to porcelain tile to meet the challenge for the hospitality design. TILE caught up with Principal Tim Rooney of JBI to learn more details about the hotel renovation.
