Discover the transformation of The Highlander Hotel from an Inn to a modern urban resort with a luxurious feel. Though renovated, The Highlander Hotel still keeps its historic originality of the 1960s and 1970s.

Venture into the ballroom of The Highlander Hotel that underwent much thought and creativity through its renovation. The ceiling alone is a dramatic array of black Celium Westminster’s Coffered tiles punctuated by white soffits, this style is a far cry from the drop-tile ceiling of the past, but no drama or history is lost on this timeless renovation.

Uncover the most striking architectural discovery of the renovation, the gorgeous limestone wall that once separated the sunken bar from the restaurant. The team extracted every limestone brick, removing the contemporary slate of concrete and carpet that had been placed over it. The stone was then used to help reconstruct the historic sunken bar that now acts as one of the centerpieces for the whole hotel.

Gaze at the period psychedelic artwork on the walls as well as abstract op-art objects that lay among different fixtures in the hotel. Termed by Time Magazine in 1964, Op art is short for “optical art,” a style of visual art that uses optical illusions.
