When the Blackstone, an Omaha, Nebraska grande dame
that opened in 1916, was converted into an office building
in the 1980s, little of its original beauty remained except
for a marble staircase and terracotta floor tiles. Tasked
with reviving it as the Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel, DLR
Group pieced together the Blackstone's original details from
historic imagery in the Durham Museum's archive.
" We wanted to create a place that became a transcendent
social playground, " says Staci Patton, hospitality leader
and principal at DLR Group's Minneapolis office, who was
buoyed by the photographs and memories shared by former
Blackstone guests of celebrity sightings and jazz band
socials. " We couldn't turn our back on that legacy, so we
sought to rebuild the story with a modern muse. "
DLR Group honed in on the lobby, creating an ethereal
space that is bolstered by a collection of works from
Nebraska artists. Acting as the connective tissue of the
property, it blends " a white framework of millwork, plaster,
and new glass introductions " with furniture crafted from
" contemporary metals and leathers to breathe a relevant
Kimpton conversation into the design, " Patton says.
Different pathways lead to F&B destinations such as the
garden tea lounge situated in a former outdoor courtyard,
the masculine-infused Committee Chophouse, the breezy
mint-hued Petit Orleans café, and the ochre-colored Orleans
Room awash in dark woodwork and ornate moldings. A
sunlight-filled corridor, lined with plants and black and
white striped tile, paves the way to the Pool Club.
Informed by the hotel's lawns, the 205 guestrooms
feature arched headboards with custom chinoiserie linens
that depict pastoral vignettes evocative of the Blackstone's
old lace canopy beds.
Ultimately, Patton likens the Kimpton Cottonwood's
revamp to a sequence of cinematic moments. " We created
scenes and moods from one destination to the next, " she
says. " They feel one part rooted in yesterday and yet alive in
today's sentiment for enriched social experiences. "
