Hospitality Design
our approach
Our knowledge, appreciation and respect of cultures throughout the world is what enable us to create moments of hospitality like no one else.
WATG and Wimberly Interiors‘ knowledge, appreciation and respect of cultures throughout the world are what enable us to create moments of hospitality like no one else.
For 80 years, we’ve held an unwavering commitment to design innovation and excellence. We make it our responsibility to continually expand the art and craft of hospitality design.
We intuitively bring luxury and unique elements to life through our ability to connect guests with new cultural experiences that not only nurture, but awaken the imagination, inviting the feelings of escape, relaxation and discovery.
True luxury in the modern age has shifted; the places we create allow for memories to be made and serendipity to weave its magic.
