The temperature is not the only thing that is HOT in Dallas these days! Check out the transformation at the Hilton Anatole Hotel. If you haven’t visited there lately, you will be in for a very pleasant surprise.

Asian Garden and Nebula in Atrium II

There are so many high points. Atrium II now resembles a park-like Asian garden complete with team pavilion, lush landscaping and incredible reflecting pool. Floating overhead is a breathtaking, one-of-a-kind kinetic sculpture, Nebula, created by Reuben Margolin. New eateries, Media Grill + Bar and Counter Offer, offer appealing fare by day and moonlight with evening and late-night opportunities.

Asian Fusion, anyone?

The client was looking for a booth design that would be appropriate for the Hilton Anatole’s amazing collection of Asian art pieces.  We developed a sultry design that definitely stood out but could easily have been part of the hotel’s existing decor.  Asian and Moroccan elements were paired in unique fashion to develop this appealing set.

Stone Pavilion

This stone pavilion sets the stage

No detail was missed as the booth was developed.  Rich red drape was draped from a 12′x12′ stone pavilion that provided the anchor for the design while chocolate banquettes, accented with Asian bolster pillows in red and gold, were arranged underneath for seating.   A lighted coffee table, lit in red hues, anchored the banquettes.  Faux elephant tusks lent drama at the entrance of the pavilion.

Elaborate Dragon Candelabra

The details make this design so engaging

Roses and bamboo were arranged in distinctive minimalistic style then surrounded by LED candles provided the accents around two dragon candelabras across the top of the coffee table lit in red.  Shoji screens were redefined with large, Asian discs.

Buddha Statue at Anatole

The hotel's existing art fit perfectly with the booth's design.

While this statue of Buddha seems to be part of the booth design, it is in fact, part of the Hilton Anatole Dallas’ extensive collection of Asian art.  The set was developed with this collection in mind and the results were stunning.
