SOUND OF DESIGN | Westshore Grand Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Design tells the story. Craftsmanship brings it to life. Music gives it a heartbeat.

At Design Poole, we believe great hospitality design engages all the senses.

When we reimagined the Westshore Grand Tribute Portfolio Hotel, our vision was to capture the bold optimism and unapologetic glamour of 1980s postmodern design through a contemporary lens. Sculptural forms, vibrant color, dramatic lighting, and layered textures came together to create an experience that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly current.

Working within a disciplined renovation budget, an accelerated construction schedule, and the Tribute Portfolio PIP requirements, every design decision had to work harder. That same philosophy inspired the music, an original composition influenced by the bold synth-pop energy of the 1980s, reimagined with a modern cinematic feel.

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible partners who helped bring this vision to life:

Better Design Lighting (BDL) – Decorative lighting
Blue Leaf – Custom casegoods
DAC Art – Custom artwork
Durkan – Custom carpet
Kovet – Sculptural seating
PierPoint – Area rugs & accessories

Because great hospitality design isn't just something you see. It's something you feel.
