We’re so excited to share that Kinley Cincinnati and Kinley Chattanooga Southside have launched – it’s thrilling to see years of work on this cross-collaborative project come to life. A home base for adventures great and small, Kinley is the newest boutique hotel brand from Vision Hospitality Group. The first Kinley debuted in Cincinnati, Ohio in late 2020, followed by Chattanooga, Tennessee in March 2021.
We developed the global brand vision for this “comfortably hip” boutique lifestyle hospitality brand, designed interior spaces, and delivered an environmental graphics package. The name, inspired by kinship, speaks to the hotel’s inclusive nature – a place where it’s easy to feel connected and at home. The brand’s focus on inclusivity is channeled through each of the hotels’ inviting common spaces and captures the authentic vibe of each location with a distinctly small-city sensibility and genuine charm through thoughtful design details and local art.
“Kinley is bringing the hotel experience back to the root of what makes traveling such a desirable pastime – connecting with other travelers, connecting with the community you’ve come to explore, and connecting with yourself,” said Mitch Patel, CEO of Vision Hospitality Group. “Whether staying for a night, indulging in a drink or exploring the destination, we welcome you to come as you are, and experience what true hospitality is all about. From Cincinnati to Chattanooga and beyond, we are excited to welcome visitors to America’s most captivating small cities and neighborhoods.”
We can’t wait to visit to check out both hotels’ Instagram-worthy interiors when we’re able! Click through to dive deeper into the branding, interior design, and signage work we completed for Kinley Chattanooga Southside and Kinley Cincinnati.
