Philpotts Interiors Celebrates Hawaiian Culture, Authenticity and its Own Legacy Through These Unique Hospitality Environments<\/h3>\r\n

A<\/span>s one of Hawai\u02bbi\u2019s most renowned interior design firms, Philpotts Interiors<\/a> brings a deep respect for the traditions and culture of its beautiful island home to each unique hospitality project. Founder Mary Philpotts-McGrath\u2019s design ethos was to connect those visiting Hawai\u02bbi with a \u201csense of place,\u201d celebrating how the island\u2019s temperate climate and environment allow for harmonious living. Today, the second and third generations of the firm, led by Mary\u2019s daughter, Marion Philpotts-Miller, Lowell Tom, and Holly Boling Ruiz, follow in Mary\u2019s footsteps by continuing the legacy of her design imprint by conveying the authenticity of their home \u2014 a melding of cultures and natural elements pulled from Asia, the South Pacific and U.S. Mainland.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"Ho\u02bbi ka \u02bbo\u02bbopu \u02bbai lehua i ka m\u0101punapuna\", a Hawaiian proverb that translates to \u201cgoing back to the source,\u201d offers endless inspiration to the team. Hospitality work provides the firm the chance to authentically represent Hawaiian culture and history to island visitors, through the incorporation of regionally significant design elements, local art, and artifacts. Indigenous and endemic hardwoods, stone, grasscloth, and textured fabric, along with custom furniture and culturally significant artwork by artists such as Pegge Hopper \u2014 whom Philpotts Interiors helped introduce to international audiences \u2014 are all carefully curated to connect hotel guests to the \u02bb\u0101ina, which is Hawaiian for \u201cland.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

From her earliest work, Philpotts-McGrath always delivered the gift of aloha to her projects and to her clients. Whether it's lei, art, furniture, or native plants and grasses, incorporating local elements and craftsmanship into a meeting or introduction is just as important as introducing it into public spaces where visitors gather. Authentic storytelling through design has always been a priority for the firm.<\/p>\r\n

The reimagined finishes and furnishings draw inspiration from the hotel\u2019s unique surroundings \u2014 from the earthy tones of Maui\u2019s lush mountains and rainforests to the azure blues of the ocean. The color palette is then complemented by rich hardwoods that mix seamlessly with the elegant new furnishings to create living spaces that feel sophisticated and regal, yet casually livable.<\/p>\r\n

Hotel Wailea the Birdcage Bar (Wailea, Maui)<\/h4>\r\n

As Hawai\u02bbi\u2019s first Relais & Ch\u00e2teaux luxury, adults-only resort overlooking Maui\u2019s southern coastline, Hotel Wailea<\/a> is a truly unique property. Philpotts Interiors designed the hotel\u2019s new bar and lounge, The Birdcage Bar.

Inside the aptly named space, where birds regularly flutter in and out, large, custom-designed, cage-like light fixtures set the tone, while a hand-crafted bar by Maui Custom Woodworks activates the space. The team took inspiration from the glamour and essence of bars and restaurants in New York City and Europe's most cosmopolitan cities to create a timeless and alluring lounge. Jewel-toned textiles, bold prints, and textures along with eclectic furnishings, such as peacock chairs and bird feet tables, set an enchanting feel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Royal Hawaiian Resort (Waikiki, O\u02bbahu)<\/h4>\r\n

Philpotts Interiors approached the renovation of The Royal Hawaiian<\/a>, Hawai\u02bbi\u2019s iconic \u201cpink palace\u201d with its characteristic \u201csense of place\u201d approach. The team drew inspiration from the hotel\u2019s luxurious heritage and signature style and created a bridge between old and new Waikiki with stunning interiors that provide guests with memorable experiences and connections to Hawai\u02bbi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The thrill of arrival felt by visitors during the Waikiki of yesteryear is recreated by welcoming public spaces, while the warmth of the hotel\u2019s iconic pink exterior is drawn inward using lavish standards and classic forms. The design team capitalized on recognizable hallmarks of the region and included a feature wall with an enlarged pineapple motif symbolizing Hawaiian hospitality, art of native flora, and original architectural drawings of the hotel to make the experience exclusive to the Royal Hawaiian.<\/p>\r\n

Queen Kapi' Olani Hotel (Waikiki, O\u02bbahu)<\/h4>\r\n

The Queen Kapi\u02bbolani Hotel<\/a>, an iconic local hotel, built during the mid-century Waikiki visitor industry boom, was definitely showing the stress of its years. Philpotts Interiors saw the hotel renovation as an opportunity to create a more engaging and active street-level experience, connect the hotel to the park, long known for recreation and gatherings with views of Diamond Head, and celebrate its mid-century Hawaiian cultural connection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The design team immediately created an open-air lobby, complete with a caf\u00e9 and extended lanai space that is the hotel's signature Deck Bar & Grill where visitors and locals will enjoy the most pristine views, cocktails, and live music. The caf\u00e9 design draws inspiration from Waikiki\u2019s traditional fishing history with a hook-shaped bar and seafaring motifs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
