Three Staybridge Suites hotels have launched featuring design created by Savannah College of Art and Design‘s (SCAD) interior design students. The hotels-Staybridge Suites Tyler University Area, Texas; Staybridge Suites San Antonio Stone Oak; and Staybridge Suites Syracuse Liverpool, New York-sport the Vista scheme, which emphasizes fresh color, organic patterns, and subtle textures.
The new SCAD designs take into account the unique needs of the extended-stay traveler, including flexibility and storage. Ottoman cubes provide extra seating and storage space, with upholstered tops that can be flipped over to support a laptop or food and drinks. A desk hutch has been added to the existing work surface, providing guests with the ability to store items and customize their workspace, and a built-in closet unit provides customizable shelving for clothing and luggage. Additional flexibility has been incorporated into the studio suites, where the extended nightstand functions as an added work surface and vanity area, and a bench stored underneath can serve as seating or double as a dressing bench.
Accommodations also sport environmentally friendly details, including:
- Kitchen countertops and bathroom vanities made of quartz, an abundant natural mineral that is virtually maintenance free and requires no chemical sealing.
- Modular carpet tiles that are 100 percent recyclable and produce less waste upon installation and replacement.
- Low-VOC paint throughout the suites to help eliminate toxic airborne chemicals.
- Tile selections that incorporate pre- and/or post-consumer recycled material.
- Many fabrics that will be dyed and printed in a revolutionary process that does not require water, meaning leftover chemicals won’t be sent into the environment.
