Hotel Design Notes: Texas
Every hotel's decor likes to give some nod to where they're located, but I found the strongest examples of this in Texas.
Austin: Intercontinental Stephen F. Austin. Definitely the most thorough with the Texas theme, probably because they wanted to carry the mantle of the historic Stephen F. Austin hotel. Among the decor elements, here's the carpet with the Texas lone star:
The desk chair, with cowhide on the back, and leather on the opposing side:
San Antonio: Hilton Palacio del Rio. Had the tiling and also massive amounts of that stone on the left - does anyone know what that is?
Marfa: Hotel Paisano. This was also a historic hotel, being where the crew of the film "Giant" stayed while filming.
