Designing Discovery at The Gunter Hotel

How do you bring a historic hotel back to life without losing the character that made it special in the first place? AJ Paron speaks with Valentina Castellon of DLR Group about the transformation of The Gunter Hotel in San Antonio, where a 130-year history became the starting point for a new hospitality experience. They explore how the team uncovered original architectural details, embraced the hotel’s musical legacy, and layered in hidden spaces, bold artwork and moments of surprise to create a destination that feels both deeply rooted in its past and alive for a new generation. This season of Once Upon A Project is presented by Crypton. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
