For the renovation of this iconic 110,000-square-foot hotel, the primary design goal was to preserve its historic character while introducing a luxurious, contemporary sensibility. The design carefully balanced tradition and modernity by contrasting new elements with the building’s classical bones. Historical motifs were not only preserved but reimagined in a refined, updated form.
THE HOTEL SASKATCHEWAN,
AUTOGRAPH COLLECTION, SK
The lounge was transformed by designing a feature bar that overlooks the park, creating a visual connection between the interior space and the exterior landscape. The restaurant displays industrial vintage accents and traditional elegance to create a cozy environment, catering to a variety of occasions and clientele.
The hotel's original antique chandeliers and gilded wall moldings were complemented by rich dark wood accents, polished marble floors, and a sophisticated palette of greys, blues, and golds—creating a harmonious dialogue between past and present. In the guestrooms and suites, polished chrome, Sapele wood, natural stone, and vintage-inspired mirrors elevated the interiors, offering a timeless yet modern guest experience.
The suites were designed as serene retreats, adorned with regal tones of burgundy, gold, and indigo, and furnished with intricately detailed casegoods that echo Victorian-era craftsmanship. Throughout the guestrooms and suites, a calming palette of taupe and cool greys reinforces the sense of sophistication and comfort. Repeated use of damask-patterned textiles and finishes that reference those in the public areas ensures a cohesive and balanced aesthetic across the entire property.
