Premier Completes the Renovation of the Hilton Garden Inn Bethesda

Premier provided architecture, interior design, and procurement services on the $4 million hotel modernization.

Premier is pleased to announce the completion of its latest upscale focused service hotel renovation: the Hilton Garden Inn Bethesda.

As part of a $4 million renovation, Premier provided the architecture, interior design, and procurement expertise that transformed the hotel’s lobby, meetings and events spaces, bar and lounge, restaurant, and fitness center. Additionally, Premier oversaw the updating of the hotel’s exterior and arrival experience.

Premier’s Interior Design team’s program for the Hilton Garden Inn Bethesda was inspired by the urban parks within walking distance of the hotel.  Downtown Bethesda’s charm lies in its public green spaces and trails that blend within its urban environment; that same inspiration helped Premier’s Interior Design team activate the property’s Hilton Brighthearted Program – an initiative to incorporate the needs of the local cultural and business communities by creating community-inspired spaces with a focus on offering authentic local experiences.

Helping the owners optimize the impact of their renovation budget, Premier’s Interior Design team maximized the project’s cost efficiency by cleverly resurfacing, reclaiming, and repurposing existing furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) and built-in millwork, effectively reducing materials and construction expenses, and streamlining the project’s overall timeline.

“The Premier Interior Design team is most proud of our work on the lobby and great room space in this hotel renovation,” notes Laura L. Bennett, Senior Interior Designer for Premier.  “The registration desk was reconfigured and opened so team members can more easily assist guests.  The quick print station was relocated to be closer to the front desk, while the sundries area was relocated to the former business center and opened for better merchandizing of goods and improved revenue-generating potential.  Overall, the design encapsulates Hilton Garden Inn’s style, and creates an inviting destination that embraces the surrounding neighborhood’s textures, colors, and vibes.”

As a value-add for the property’s owners, Premier introduced increased functionality to the hotel’s back of house spaces.  After a thorough review of the hotel’s floor plan, Premier’s Interior Design team was able to locate and repurpose underutilized square footage as new office space for the hotel’s operations teams.
