A Unique Addition to Denver's Skyline ? R-W is proud to have completed the FF&E and OS&E purchasing for the Populus Hotel. Poised to becoming a defining landmark in Denver's skyline, the architecturally stunning building draws inspiration from the elegant beauty of aspen trees, creating one of the most intricate and iconic structures in modern architecture. ? Inside, the design flawlessly blends form and function while offering a luxurious experience inspired by nature. The architectural nodes, reminiscent of aspen bark, double as natural light sources, while the sweeping bay windows provide guests with breathtaking views of Denver’s skyline and the surrounding mountains. Developed by Urban Villages, the Populus Hotel embodies their mission to seamlessly integrate nature into urban landscapes through timeless design. This project stands as a new benchmark for environmentally conscious hospitality and is the first carbon-positive hotel in the U.S. ? R-W is honored to serve as the procurement partner, helping bring this vision to life. ? #PopulusHotel #DenverArchitecture #UrbanVillages #SustainableDesign #GreenProcurement #HospitalityInnovation Populus Hotel (populusdenver.com)

This week, we extend our sincere gratitude to Ealain Studio. R-W has had the privilege of collaborating with Ealain on numerous projects over the years, including the recent Hyatt Regency Chicago. With 35 floors, 2,032 rooms, and 123 suites, the Hyatt Regency Chicago is the largest hotel in the city. One notable design feature is how Chicago's rich architectural history is elegantly reflected throughout the guestrooms. The headboard design, pictured below, spans 360 years of the city's history, displayed in 20-year intervals with each milestone represented by a black and white photograph from the Chicago Architecture Center archives. Roberto Calderon, R-W’s FF&E Field and Product Specialist, shares, “We had the pleasure of working closely with Janet D’Aprix, Jacqueline McGee and Amber Chilton on the extensive renovation. Ealain was a fantastic partner throughout—friendly, cooperative, and solution- oriented. For a project of this magnitude, their collaboration was invaluable in ensuring everything ran smoothly.” Cara Osborn, Sr. Project Director, says, “You will never hear ‘that’s not my job’ from Janet. Ealain is a client-centric design firm that’s not afraid to get their hands dirty, and they consistently strive to provide excellent customer service. The firm is a pleasure to work with on any job from start to finish.” A heartfelt thank you to Ealain Studio for their innovative and relationship-driven approach. We tip our hats to you for making each of our endeavors together a success, and we look forward to further strengthening our partnership in the years to come. #DesignExcellence #DesignImpact #Hospitality #InteriorDesign #IndustryLeaders #Collaboration #Teamwork #HyattRegencyChicago
