Boutique Coastal Hotel Identity

The Project

We crafted a distinctive brand identity for this boutique hotel, deliberately stepping away from traditional coastal clichés. Instead of predictable maritime motifs, we developed a sophisticated design incorporating subtle weather system patterns—a clever nod to aviation propeller dynamics—creating a unique visual signature in a crowded marketplace.

The carefully curated colour palette paired rich green with gold accents, avoiding typical seaside blues to establish a more distinctive presence. We selected open typefaces that echoed 1920s elegance, while our versatile pattern system provided visual continuity across all touchpoints.

Given the hotel’s intimate scale, we paid particular attention to the details that enhance the guest experience. The brand identity extended seamlessly across a range of premium amenities—from branded towels and room candles to breakfast preserves and ceramic mugs—creating a cohesive and luxurious environment.

The comprehensive branding package included essential items introduced during the pandemic, such as branded face masks, demonstrating the identity’s adaptability to changing hospitality requirements.

The complete brand package, including style guides, is available for purchase.
