From the harbor’s clean-up to the county’s extensive plans for residential and commercial development, Marina del Rey is drawing increased attention as the seaside community’s rapid growth unfolds. One of the newest properties to come on to the hospitality scene, changing the way locals and visitors experience the area, is Hotel MdR Marina del Rey - a DoubleTree by Hilton.
After Hilton acquired the local Courtyard by Marriott, the brand called upon Beatrice Girelli and her local award-winning design firm Indidesign to refresh the building’s exterior, lobby, bar, restaurant, and outdoor living areas, creating a destination for hotel-goers to dine, work, or simply relax. Girelli, co-founder and design director of the firm, drew inspiration from the SoCal lifestyle and DNA of the DoubleTree brand to craft a unique identity for the renovated property.
