Hotel Brand Development

Nationally Renowned Brand Development

Shea is nationally renowned for its hotel architecture services, designing and building hospitality spaces of every size and scope. We’ve worked with national hoteliers such as Marriott, Intercontinental Hotels Group, Sofitel, and many more over the firm’s more than 45-year history designing hospitality spaces, as well as several boutique hotel brands. From a historic standalone hotel, commercial property conversions, and multi-unit national rollouts, to designing ground-up buildings or customizing and executing PIPs,  Shea extends concept and brand through the architecture of a space, with every touchpoint serving as a way to reach guests.
