The project included designing new guestroom, public space and exterior design for the brand that incorporates functionality, space planning and new decor to maintain an up to date design and support a productive guest experience. This project created a more functional and productive experience for the target guest and strengthened the brand performance while creating excitement and buzz witihin the develop ment community to drive growth and distribution. Inspired by Bill Marriott's father's Fairfield Farm in the Virginia foothills, Fairfield Inn and Suites brand was launched in 1987. By the early 2000s the economy brand was being surpassed by other brand-like hotel chains. Keeping the Fairfield Farm as a design inspira tion, OPX provided Fairfield Inn and Suites with a new fresh scheme and experience that offers guest and developers form, function and flexibility while differentiating the brand. The green communal farm table in the updated more practical breakfast area is the key design element in the public space. Keeping the farm in mind, the large table becomes a multi-functional space with built-in outlets that can provide a spot for a family breakfast or a place to work. Staying away from the typical beige, the color scheme is fresh and bright consisting of tanger ine, teal blue and accents of lime green.
