Spaces undergo $1 million soft-goods refurbishment
The 1,980-room Hilton New York hotel recently completed a $1 million soft-goods refurbishment of its Trianon Ballroom triplex and Mercury Ballroom. Manhattan-based design firm Champalimaud Design handled the update.
Champalimaud's designers were inspired by the Hilton New York's “grand hotel in the modern tradition” style and created a contemporary new look by incorporating classic architectural design elements into the materials used including wall coverings, carpeting, fixtures and furnishings.
“The new redesign of our ballroom space brings this hotel into the 21st century,” said Conrad Wangeman, the hotel's general manager. “In the past, the Hilton New York, since its opening in 1963, has had a reputation for being very traditional hotel in its design aesthetic, and with the ballrooms' refurbishment project, we wanted to provide our clients and guests with an updated look that would appeal to both groups. We do not want to be known as your grandfather's Hilton.”
