We are so proud to see Fidelity Hotel Cincinnati featured in Condé Nast Traveler. The property opened this summer inside the historic Gwynne Building, a 113-year-old Beaux-Arts landmark in downtown Cincinnati, and it has been wonderful to watch the coverage and guest response come in.

As summer winds down, we are taking a moment to look back on a first half of the year that kept us busy in the best way: creative workshops, industry events, vendor outings, Pride celebrations, project milestones, and more.

We’re grateful for these team, our collaborators, and the experiences this work affords us. It has been a great year so far, and there is so much more still to come.

Earlier this summer our team headed to La Jolla for a VIP experience with Brizo, and it did not disappoint.

Dinner at The Marine Room with the Pacific right outside the window. A catamaran afternoon on the water. A stay at Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa. And somewhere in between, a water tasting that turned into one of the more unexpectedly fascinating moments of the trip. Brizo put different water sources side by side, each with varying TDS levels, the measure of mineral content in water. Turns out, the higher the number, the more mineral flavor you get, and most of us were firmly in the low TDS camp.

When a faucet brand makes you rethink water itself, they are doing something right. Thanks again for having us, Brizo!

Hale Hokuala Kauai opens this October, and we are proud to have designed the interiors of the first Curio Collection by Hilton property in Hawaii.

The resort's name means House of the Rising Star, and every design decision was made to honor that connection to place. A nature-inspired palette of sand, greenery, sky, and water. Natural textures throughout. Spacious private balconies that bring in light and trade-wind breezes. Spa-inspired bathrooms designed to feel like a residential retreat rather than a hotel room.

210 guestrooms and 23 suites, situated amid lush landscape with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, Nāwiliwili Bay, and Hāʻupu Mountain.

Kauai has been waiting for this one. Full feature in Hospitality Design linked in comments.

Looney & Associates has been ranked #20 out of the top 100 on Interior Design’s Hospitality Giants list—a recognition that feels especially meaningful as we celebrate 30 years of hospitality design.

This milestone is a testament to three decades of creativity, collaboration, and an enduring commitment to creating thoughtful, memorable spaces.

It’s a milestone for the firm, and a moment we’re excited to share with the people who made it possible.

Nashville Yards continues to take shape, and we are proud to be part of another project in this development alongside Southwest Value Partners.

The concept plan for 51 Platform Way, a proposed 35-floor mixed-use tower, just received unanimous approval from the Metro Planning Department's Downtown Code Design Review Committee. At approximately 515 feet, the high-rise will bring 620,000 square feet of Class A office space and ground-level retail and restaurant to one of Nashville's fastest-growing corridors.

Looney & Associates is serving as the interior design team alongside architect Gensler.
