Wimberly Interiors is #7 in World’s Top Hospitality Design Firms

Interior Design magazine’s 2026 Giants of Design research places us seventh among the world’s leading hospitality design firms, with $20.5 million in design fees and a 91-person team specialising in luxury hospitality, including branded residential, F&B and gaming design. 

The hospitality sector recorded $681.1 million in total design fees in 2025, with a 22 percent year-over-year increase. Projections for 2026 forecast $721.5 million across 10,292 projects. Hotels remain the largest segment at 30 percent, while restaurants and multiuse venues are growing faster. Senior living, gaming, and boutique properties are the categories where differentiation drives value (Source: Interior Design).

While larger firms often operate across multiple sectors, our expertise is deeply rooted in hospitality. With Senior Partners and Creative Directors involved in every project, we bring focused operational knowledge, creative versatility and consistent senior-level engagement to each commission.

We operate from a single principle: care. It shapes everything. 

Emotive storytelling. We spend time discovering what makes each property special – its heart, history, and culture. We translate that into spaces that connect people to place. 

Authentic to culture and place. Design is inspired by the destination’s people, history, and environment. We expose, magnify, and lift places and customs in ways that honor their context. 

Harmonized, meticulous elegance. Aesthetics, functionality, and emotion work in unison. Craftsmanship, detail, quality, and timelessness distinguish every project. 

Immersive, sensory-rich atmospheres. Spaces are intentionally designed to engage the senses and transport guests into remarkable worlds where spirits are lifted and lasting memories are made. 

Functional and precise. Beyond aesthetics, spaces deliver flawless efficiency rooted in profound knowledge of operations and focus on staff well-being. 

Tailored and signature. Each project starts as a blank canvas. The result is exclusive, one-of-a-kind environments that are fully customized and uniquely ownable

We clarify and refine client aspirations through active listening and provocative questioning. Projects reflect and expand brand identity and vision. Global perspective and deep knowledge ensure designs authentically honor each destination’s people, history, and environment. 

Creative versatility, meticulous attention to detail, and operational precision guide projects to success. Senior talent leads all work. Projects consistently deliver on time, on budget, and with results that exceed expectations. You get reliability and stability alongside transformational creativity. 

This ranking reflects market confidence in a competitive global field. It acknowledges our legacy of celebrated, commercially successful work recognized at the highest levels of creativity and execution. It also signals our positioning as we move into a period of meaningful hospitality investment: a partner built on listening, cultural sensitivity, operational rigor, and the belief that spaces shaped with care create enduring experiences.
