Professional Work: Home2 Suites By Hilton in West Valley City, UT

Home2 Suites by Hilton is the newest addition to the Hilton brand, designed as an extended-stay hotel concept. This particular property, which opened in October 2011, was the fifth location nationwide and the second in Utah. Construction began in January 2011, following the design process that started in May 2010. Conveniently located at 4028 West Parkway Boulevard, West Valley City, UT, the hotel features 79 suites across four stories. Guests can enjoy an indoor saline swimming pool, an indoor whirlpool, and three distinct room layouts: 10 king studio suites, 16 double queen studio suites, and 53 single queen studio suites.

I had the privilege of being deeply involved in the design, specification, and project management of the interiors. This included everything from wall vinyl, carpet, paint, lighting, and lighting design to furniture selection (both interior and exterior), furniture design, fabrics, accessories, window treatments, built-in finishes, tile, and other wall finishes—as well as overseeing the installation.

This project holds a special place in my heart. The owners and management team behind this property are truly incredible—some of the best people I’ve had the pleasure of working with.

Here are some photos of the final product—enjoy!
