Situated a few miles away from Northwest Florida seaside, the beautiful white sandy beaches of the Forgotten Coast, City Center, and Gulf World Marine Park. The unique setting of the Florida Pan Handle was an integral part of the design narrative. The hotel has a relaxed laid back feel with a scenic view of the surrounding lake and forest.
HILTON GARDEN INN PANAMA CITY AIRPORT, FL
Our design focused on the Garden Grille & Bar—an all-day restaurant with its own distinct personality that flows seamlessly into the hotel’s bar and lobby. Custom design elements were thoughtfully integrated with the HGI Bloom prototype, resulting in a vibrant aesthetic with subtle floral inspirations.
The restaurant was designed to feel airy and textural, with layered patterns adding both personality and long-term durability. A bold chevron graphic screen—echoing the motif used throughout the hotel—divides the reception area from the main dining space, introducing movement and visual interest to the otherwise flat ceiling plane. The blend of brand elements and custom design comes together seamlessly to create a warm, inviting atmosphere.
The strong patterns are balanced with a soft palette of warm white, beiges, and modern coral tones. The coral is a warm and inviting colour that lends itself to both a morning and evening atmosphere.
