Vanderbilt Hall Hotel

First-floor common areas, including the dining and reception rooms, were upgraded with period moldings, glass tile, and fine carpeting. The second and third floors were reconfigured to convert the existing 52 individual guest rooms into 31 luxury suites. A signature of Vanderbilt Hall is the light-filled conservatory that leads to an exterior bluestone terrace. Distinctive cork floors were installed in the conservatory, and the terrace was upgraded with a fire pit, barbecue, and teak furniture creating a warm English country estate ambiance.

Working under a fast-tracked process, construction and design were accomplished simultaneously. Farrar & Associates coordinated all construction phases with ownership and the design team to ensure successful completion on schedule. Project value: $4 million. We then renovated the hotel's lower level for a health club spa. Features include a pool, locker rooms, exercise, and meeting rooms. Estimated value: $1 million.
