At BraytonHughes, this New Year inspires both a look ahead toward brighter days and a retrospective mindset on exciting moments and opportunities we had during a challenging year. The newly opened Canopy by Hilton Baltimore Harbor Point ended 2020 on a high note, and we are proud to have designed a project that contributes to the fabric of the neighborhood and builds a spirit of community between tourists and locals.
Located on Baltimore’s stunning waterfront, Canopy by Hilton Baltimore Harbor Point invites interactions between guests and locals and discovery of the City’s rich history and art community. Drawing design inspiration from the historic Fells Point neighborhood, we paid homage to Baltimore’s industrial and shipbuilding past with contemporary interiors that reinvent materials such as copper, steel, wood, and dark metals. Strong, authentic artwork ranges from murals to industrial mixed media landscapes and reinforces the hotel as a portal into the neighborhood by showcasing local artists. Together, the interiors and art program shine a light on Baltimore’s multifaceted character while removing the veil that can divide hotel guests from locals and authentic experiences.
2020 demonstrated the importance of community and solidarity. Cheers to a New Year and design that creates a sense of togetherness in the future!
