As with all Foster Supply hotels, Hotel Darby’s design was led in-house by the group’s co-owner, and embraces its building’s history. It’s design and purpose have been carefully composed to bring the building’s origins into its next chapter. A nod to the building’s 1960s roots, the hotel features a playful mid-century modern design with bold pops of oranges and blues against cane woven textures. The bar and common spaces feature custom pieces designed and built on property. The hotel’s 27 rooms range from a mix of King and Queens, as well as suites with connecting bunk rooms. All are outfitted with en-suite bathrooms, and most have well-appointed workspaces.
