Hotel Herringbone, an upscale boutique hotel, is now open in downtown Waco, TX. San Diego-based RAD LAB partnered with FreeForm Development, Lucky Find Hospitality and local chef and restaurateur Corey McEntyre to acquire and reimagine what was once a vacant shipping container development occupying a full city block.
The property offers 21 art-deco-inspired hotel rooms, as well as more than 30,000 sq. ft. of programmed and activated space for food, beverage, music, art, events and retail. The Hotel Herringbone team designed and built a 15,000-sq.-ft. public plaza with 12 highly curated retail spaces, a shaded outdoor space and a stage for regular live music performances.
Interior designer Taylor Leage incorporated varied design elements from all corners of the world.
“We aimed to showcase layered elements stemming from the wide-ranging regions and history through the lens of a 20th-century world traveler and her husband, evoking the feeling of your grandmother’s attic filled to the brim and brought to life as if it were brand new,” said Leage. “The design also aimed to highlight the existing architecture created by the modular pods on the exterior, but once inside, it transforms into a world of nostalgia reminiscent of a feeling with no specific time or place. To execute this, we used a wide array of design aesthetics from old-world to retro-mod. Art Nouveau detailing is balanced out with modern futuristic forms, and are bright, bold and modern.”
The hotel also offers four food and beverage outlets and an exclusive Vinyl Record listening studio & lounge featuring more than 1,000 sq. ft. of indoor/outdoor space.
