hospitality design portfolio The lobby bar The VIP Founders' Room pays tribute to the Jungle Room at Graceland Design moves, such as the glittering mirrored ceiling installation in the resort lobby, are inspired by the dramatic emblem of Elvis' sundial jumpsuit. Furniture and chairs playfully suggest his signature upturned collars. The resort's suites each pay homage to different facets of Elvis' life through details that recall patterns, places, signature phrases, and people important in Elvis' life. According to Priscilla, Elvis was very much about creating a comfortable atmosphere that brought people together, which HBG Design's team worked to emulate in the property's plan and throughout the design decisions. The resulting design conveys an authentic sense of intimacy, giving visitors their own personal experience with Elvis' iconic style.
