As dual-branded properties become
increasingly common, some interesting
combinations are sure to result. One, just
realized in Denver, is a pairing of two
European brands recently joined under
the rubric of Marriott: the design-driven
Le Méridien, which has its roots in France,
and the select-service, Spanish-born
AC Hotels. For Gina Deary, co-owner of
Chicago's Simeone Deary Design Group,
the creative, feminine sensibility of the
former and the more masculine, businessfocused sense of the latter offered myriad
opportunities. "For Le Méridien, savoring
the hotel space is part of the culture," she
says. "With AC, it's more about coming in
and out of the hotel quickly, using it as a
place for brief meetings and breakfasts."
The two properties come together in the
sumptuous Corinne restaurant, as well as
the open-air rooftop bar 54Thirty, "where
guests can drink while looking over
the plains and at the mountains in the
distance," says Deary.
Both hotels turn to that setting for
design inspiration, but neither relies on
clichés. The 223-room AC takes a more
muscular approach while eschewing the
typical cowboy iconography. Instead, the
locale's distinctiveness is present in the
lodge-like use of dark woods and cognachued leather walls. The nature theme
reappears in art that populates the space
and the sharp geometric forms that echo
those of the mountains.

Le Méridien shares the mostly neutral
palette of its sister property, but with an
airier feel (think white and gray tones).
Here, the crisp brightness of those snowcovered mountains dominates, with an
après-ski aesthetic pulled from "alpine
couture," as Deary calls it.
This starts in the lobby, where carpets
and tilework take cues from wool gloves
and sweater patterns, chairs are covered
in faux white fur, and a sweeping staircase
rises to a crystal chandelier redolent of
cracked ice. The midcentury-inspired

3. A defining feature
in the light and airy
Le Méridien lobby is
a sweeping staircase,
highlighted by tilework
that resembles wool
gloves or sweater
patterns.
4. Artwork in Le
Méridien guestrooms
nods to the Denver
landscape with
saturated tones.

5. Le Méridien's public
spaces embrace a
feminine look with
midcentury furnishings
that soften wood
accents, including in
a built-in shelving unit
that holds bric-à-brac
and other curios.
