Audrey de Filippis

Connecting design with business and brand strategy is at the core of my design philosophy. It’s the art of translating my deep understanding of hotel operations and brand standards into an authentic and resonant local hospitality experience. Hotels are much more than a place to stay - it’s a place where memories are made. Knowing what motivates guests is valuable in terms of getting hotel design right. Great design works alongside great service to offer an experience that guests will be passionate about and remain loyal to.

Inspiration

Travel offers an unfiltered view into the adaptability of people to their environment. Creating surroundings that encourage opportunities for communal interactions is vitally important. We use this to set out the framework for urban design that accommodates growing populations.
