The Embassy Suites by Hilton Denton Convention Center in Denton, Texas is a newly designed and built hotel that is located conveniently in Denton’s Rayzor Ranch Town Center entertainment district. The Denton Convention Center is 70,000 square feet and designed to handle 1,700 people.

All of the guest rooms in this Embassy Suites location are, as the name suggests, suites, and the average size is approximately 500 square feet. In addition to the bedroom, each suite features a living room with a couch that can also be converted into a bed, a desk for working, and a wet bar with a miniature fridge, microwave oven, and coffeemaker.

In addition to the Convention Center, the hotel also offers its own meeting rooms within the hotel as well as extensive outdoor space that includes an 8,000 square foot “event lawn.” A massive rooftop patio provides views of the Rayzor Ranch Town Center and encompasses 3,000 square feet.

PTY Lighting assisted in providing all of the decorative lighting for the hotel. Production started March 17, 2017 and finished August 20, 2017. We worked with Embassy Suites, O’Reilly Hospitality Management, and MatchLine Design Group on the project.

Clean Lines with Creative Touches

With its connection to the Denton Convention Center, the Embassy Suites hotel is designed to appeal to business travelers who need a place to stay that enables them to equally relax and conduct business.

At the same time, the hotel may also attract non-working guests, with its outdoor space designed to work as a great spot for weddings. With this in mind, the design of the hotel needed to be modern and not overly burdened with flashy design. Most of the interior decoration in the hotel is comprised of clean lines with muted colors.

Much of the decorative lighting follows this style of clean, simple lines, with guest hallway wall sconces offering a streamlined rectangular shape. Guest rooms offer a variety of complimentary lighting styles, from the distinctive curved wood slats in the pendulum lights to oval-shaped burnished metal lampshades next to the bed.

Signature Pieces

Of course, we love making signature pieces that truly set a hotel apart. We created quite a few for The Embassy Suites by Hilton Denton Convention Center.

One chandelier takes its inspiration from the pendulums that keep time in an old Grandfather’s Clock. The lights in this chandelier are in long, clear glass tubes that suspend from the ceiling and are balanced out by simple metal weights. A slight hint of filament can be seen, which evokes the romance of old lighting while keeping a modern look.

Our favorite chandelier is the one inspired by the local music scene: What looks like the flute of a trumpet or trombone flares out from multiple brass pipes, creating what appears to be a unique instrument made of lights.

The Embassy Suites by Hilton Denton Convention Center is LEED Gold-Certified

LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and it is a certification for green building. In fact, it is the most widely recognized and used green building certification on the planet.

Being LEED-certified shows a commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency. Of course, this applies to all of the lighting that is used in a building. Hotels that want to be LEED-certified must have efficient lighting that does not unnecessarily waste energy.

At PTY Lighting, we are experts in designing and manufacturing highly efficient hotel lighting that meets or exceeds LEED standards. We use the latest technologies such as LED lights that can work with smart grids.

We are proud that The Embassy Suites by Hilton Denton Convention Center has not only received LEED certification, it has achieved the coveted gold-level standard.

LEED buildings can earn certifications in four categories based on points. The more points you earn, the better the certification. The level “Certified” is the basic certification requiring 40-49 points. Then comes “Silver,” which requires 50-59 points. The “Gold” level has a wider point span of 60-79 points. The highest level of certification is Platinum, which needs 80 points or more and is quite rare.

Part of the design of The Embassy Suites by Hilton Denton Convention Center includes solar panels on the roof to help generate 15 to 20 percent of the power needed for the entire hotel/convention center complex.

The Embassy Suites by Hilton Denton Convention Center would not be able to achieve Gold level certification without energy efficient lighting. We are proud to help make that happen.

This is our PTY Guarantee: Quality, Cost-Effective Lighting that is ON TIME. PTY Lighting is a custom lighting manufacturer that creates hotel lighting for hotel guest rooms and public spaces such as lobbies and ballrooms.

We stand out because we have the ability to create custom lighting at any size and amount for 10% less than the market rate. We also offer hand tailored creations and customer service that is top-notch. And, because we are also hospitality lighting manufacturers, we can ensure that the custom lighting you receive is of the highest quality.

Our Custom Lighting Design Work Process
We work with you every step of the way to create beautiful, cost-effective, and energy-efficient lighting that adds charm and interest to every room. Our process is entirely collaborative, and we remain in constant communication with you and your team at every step in the process.

We want you to be confident in us. At any point in the design or production, you can always communicate to us if something needs to be fixed, improved, or remedied. We pride ourselves in offering the best customer service in the industry, and we mean that.

Here is an overview of our entire process, from start to finish:

Step 1: Consultation & Discovery

We meet with you and your team to discuss your project and determine the past path forward. Our decorative lighting experts will listen very carefully to what your needs are, and go over form, function, and aesthetics with great attention to detail.

Our team will conduct a thorough review of all the provided information, including, but not limited to, the lighting specifications package, interior design drawings, and architectural drawings. We will analyze the ideas and plans to engineer suitable solutions to properly illuminate a space, while maintaining the design aesthetic.

Step 2: Shop Drawings & Revisions

During this stage, we will be leveraging detailed custom light fixture specifications to create shop drawings. These are then reviewed with your design team. We will resolve any issues or concerns and offer suggestions for revisions. Once you are satisfied, your team will formally sign off on final drawings before production.

Step 3: Finishes & Prototype Approvals

In step 3, custom lighting and hardware finishes and initial prototypes will be presented to and approved by you. We encourage our clients to review these prototypes and communicate as quickly as possible – especially if we need to go back and do another round of revisions. That way, we can begin production as soon as possible.

Step 4: Production

After drawings and finishes are approved, the clock starts on production. We will also create any final prototypes during this time so you can see exactly how the light will look and work. Of course, these too will receive your approval before mass production begins.
Our staff will always keep you well informed during the entire production process. In fact, you will receive regular updates in the form of pictures and videos as your lights are being built.

Step 5: Packing & Shipping

After production is completed, our facilities will package and prepare your contract lighting order for shipment. We verify that everything has been built and packed according to the necessary requirements, and then make sure all of your custom lights arrive safely, in one piece.
Our logistics specialists have the experience and knowledge to plan the quickest and most cost-effective method of delivering your order. Once carefully packaged to ensure safe transport, your lighting goods will be on their way to the property for installation.

Step 6: Installation Support

We offer full hands-on support to the electricians and site techs who will be installing your new hotel lighting fixtures. While we usually don’t provide the actual labor for installation, our expert guidance helps the process run smoothly and efficiently.
In addition to the personal communication, assistance, and consulting, we also provide all necessary literature and instructions to help along the way.
Once your project is complete, we are sure you will be pleased with your custom interior lighting.

American Golden Tower – Panama

The Hotel Las Americas Golden Tower Panama is a 5-star luxury hotel located in Panama City, Panama.

PTY Lighting was tasked with providing the entire custom lighting package for this beautiful hotel designed by world-renowned Architect, Carlos Ott. With a production time of just 60 days, we worked hard to help create an amazing lighting landscape for this now-renowned hotel that only launched in December of 2016.

Carlos Ott, Architect

To create the custom lighting for the hotel, we were privileged to work with the Carlos Ott Architect firm. Uruguayan architect Carlos Ott is renowned globally for his astonishing and unique architectural designs. He is well-known for being the architect of the world-famous

Dubai National Bank, with its unique curved glass front.

Ott first became well-known for winning an international design competition in 1983 to architect the Opéra Bastille in Paris. Ott beat out 743 other contestants and was hand-picked by then French President François Mitterrand.

Since then, Ott has won many other competitions around the world, including one for the Jiang Su Opera House in Nanjing, China.

Some of his more recent renowned works include Hotel Boca by Design Suites, Buenos Aires; Universidad Argentina de la Empresa, Sede Pinamar; The Proscenium at Rockwell, Makati City; Philippines, and ECHO Aventura, Aventura, Florida.

Ott said the following about The Hotel Las Americas Golden Tower Panama: “It is a unique hotel in a very central place of Panama City. The goal is to create an exceptional building that leaves a great memory on its clients.”

As you can imagine, working with the Carlos Ott Architect firm was an incredible opportunity to create some of the most fantastic lighting we have ever designed and manufactured at PTY Lighting.

The Importance of Creative Lighting Design

The Hotel Las Americas Golden Tower Panama has 285 rooms on 21 floors. With one Presidential Suite, 270 rooms are “deluxe,” and 14 are junior suites. The restaurant has two full- service restaurants and a “gastronomic area” on the ground floor. There are two bars, one in the lobby and the other by the pool.

The hotel also has a fitness center, spa, beauty salon, business center, executive lounge, and conference rooms.

With such diverse spaces, we were challenged to provide custom interior lighting solutions to

enhance the beautiful architectural design of Ott. Some of the hotel room lighting includes recessed lights in circular ceiling indentations and double lampshades with a black/grey screen covering the interior’s off-white shade. Chrome floor lamps accented suites with sleek white sofas and golden pillows.

The 507 Bar features retro custom pendant lights, and a unique collection of clustered pendant lights graces the bar near the curved pool.

One of the restaurants features a long, central wooden ceiling sculpture surrounded by lamps suspended from thin black rails. Hanging table lights offer a unique see-through ribbed effect.

The Main Attraction: The Custom Chandelier in the Hotel Lobby

Although the entire project came out beautifully, the stand out piece is undoubtedly the lobby chandelier, made of various elements, depicting the country of Panama.

The decorative lighting shows a map of Panama that inspires and highlights Panamanian National Pride. You can see the map when you stand under the lights and look straight up.

The hotel owner has reported that the 60-foot custom chandelier attracts many people, even from the outside of the building.

Because of its unique, iconic look, the chandelier in the lobby has become “selfie central,” with tourists and even local residents taking snapshots of themselves under the dazzling light fixture.

We love when our lighting creations become more than just part of a room. When the lighting fixture becomes an attraction in and of itself, it can add tremendous value to a property. By using unique materials and designs, custom lighting can literally and figuratively light up a place.

Creating Sustainable Lighting for Energy Efficiency

The Hotel Las Americas Golden Tower Panama is committed to environmental sustainability, and it is the only LEED-certified building in Panama. LEED stands for “Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design,” and it is one of the most well-known green building certifications in the world. It was developed by the U.S. Green Building Council and has strict requirements that

buildings must meet to earn the certification.

Of course, this also means that all the custom lighting fixtures in the hotel had to be energy-efficient to pass the certification.

Therefore, all of the Golden Tower’s hotel lighting fixtures are LED lights designed to save energy. LED lights are extremely flexible, but care needs to be taken to make sure they give off an impression of warmth and not a cold, electric feel.

The guest room lighting is set up with an energy saver option as well. This way, guests won’t waste energy by leaving lights on unnecessarily.

Custom Lighting for 5-Star Hotels

PTY Lighting is very proud of the work we did for The Hotel Las Americas Golden Tower Panama. This is one of our most treasured projects, not just for the opportunity to be a part of a Carlos Ott building, but for the creativity combined with sustainability.

We supported every part of the process, from the design to the actual production of the lights in our custom lighting manufacturing facility. With the creative use of high-quality LED lighting, we were able to produce stunning lighting that perfectly complemented Carlos Ott’s stellar architecture.

If you have a hotel lighting project you need help with, contact us at PTY Lighting. With our extensive experience, creative capabilities, and manufacturing might, we can help with all aspects of your project. Contact us today for a consultation.

Custom Light Fixtures: Start to Finish

The JW Marriott Hotel Lima is a 5-star luxury hotel located in posh Miraflores district of Lima, the capital of Peru. PTY Lighting provided all the custom light fixtures for the guest rooms in this new build developed by the owner. We worked with HPG International Latin America and JW Marriott Lima on the details of the hotel and lighting specifications. The project start date was January 7, 2015. We completed the custom hotel lights on February 10, 2015, and they were delivered to the hotel on March 22, 2015.

About the JW Marriott Hotel Lima

The JW Marriott Hotel Lima gets rave reviews from guests, who often call it the best hotel in Lima. It is known not just for the excellent accommodations and gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean, but its exceptional customer service.

The JW Marriott Hotel Lima is located in the popular Lima tourist destination, the Miraflores district. This upscale and affluent area south of downtown Lima is known for its fantastic shopping, delicious restaurants, trendy bars and nightclubs, and access to the Pacific Ocean.

The climate in Miraflores is mild, with an average low of 55 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter and a high of 86 degrees in the summer. While clouds are frequent, very little heavy rain falls on the district. This makes the district an extremely popular place for tourists who come here from all over the world to relax and enjoy the beautiful country of Peru.

With its unique curved design of glass patterned with stone squares, the JW Marriott Hotel Lima is an iconic building in the midst of this popular district. It is designed to appeal to the well-heeled discriminating traveler who wants luxury and the best service.

The hotel has won awards and accolades, including the 2017 Green Partner Award from TripAdvisor, the 2017 Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor, and the 2018 Travelers’ Choice Award from TripAdvisor.

Custom Light Fixtures for the Guest Rooms

In coming up with the perfect lighting for this upscale, landmark hotel, PTY Lighting took into consideration the discerning guests that would be staying here. The overall design of the hotel was that of simple sophistication, with clean lines and muted colors such as off-white and tan, complemented by rich browns. Our custom light fixtures needed to accent the elegant décor without taking away from it.

The JW Marriott Hotel Lima offers the following room types:

– Deluxe Room: Comes with one king or two double beds and an ocean/city view.

– Prime Ocean View: Comes with one king or two double beds, and an ocean facing view.

– Executive Room: Comes with access to the executive lounge, one king or two double beds, and an ocean facing view.

– Suite: Comes with access to the executive lounge, an executive suite, one king-sized bed, and an ocean facing view on a high floor.

– Suite with Whirlpool: Comes with access to the executive lounge, an executive suite, one king-sized bed, a whirlpool jacuzzi and an ocean facing view.

– Presidential Suite: Available on the executive level with access to the executive lounge on a private access floor. Comes with a presidential suite with one bedroom, one king-sized bed, and one and a half bathrooms.

Many room types had similar interior designs but, of course, additional lighting needed to be designed to accent and light up the suites. The basic guest room includes a unique lighting fixture: Behind the bed, four panels are angled slightly to overlap and allow some light to peek through. Next to the bed are rectangular lamps with simple black metal frames. In the larger rooms and suites, elegant standing floor lamps were included, with an asymmetrical tripod base and large solid lampshades. Room desks offer a table lamp that is reminiscent of the bedside lamps, only these have dark, oval shades framed by black metal.

The luxurious presidential suite – which even has its own baby grand piano – has its own special lighting, including a unique hanging light fixture that incorporates four separate lamps with shades on a chrome bar. All the rooms also included recessed lighting placed in strategic areas to light up walkways, bathrooms, and other commonly used spaces.

Marriott Brooklyn Bridge Ballroom

Case Study

Who Was Involved?

Cost Savings

Install Time Saved

The Challenge

The Project Team at the Brooklyn Marriott had a unique request – purchasing a new set of crystal grand chandeliers for their ballroom without replacing the existing electrical work from their previous installation. This request would greatly reduce the client’s costs by eliminating the need to hire and coordinate with union electricians, which is an expected expense when typically installing a chandelier.

The Solution

After some deliberation on our end, PTY Lighting approached the Marriott team with a proposal that involved constructing retrofit cages that would be mounted onto the existing framework and lights. The idea was well received; however, there would be a number of challenges to overcome.

From Concept To Creation

Thinking Outside the Box

Thanks to our talented design team, we moved ahead with the task of designing and constructing the retrofit cages. Our goal was to create a cage that would not only fit over the old chandeliers but also bring a fresh, practical look to the space. By avoiding the need for electrical work with this design, we completely bypassed the need for electrical work during the installation process, which saved time and costs related to the installation project. As a result the project was able to come in on budget and meet the strict deadline put forth by the Marriott team.

Crafting The Peg

With an unconventional job such as this, detail was paramount. Working together with the design team and ownership, we requested and took account of every single element and measurement of the space and existing chandeliers. PTY’s top designers calculated the necessary reflective properties to ensure that no radiance was lost in the retrofit process. After carefully selecting an optimal crystal style and design approach, we conferred with the Marriott team once more and began the process of drafting shop drawings that would serve as the foundation for the project. Passing our drawing through multiple draft phases in collaboration with the Marriott design team, we fabricated our first samples and were ready for testing.

Threading The Needle

All the planning and preparation in the world pales in comparison to a trial run and final installation. Aware of the pitfalls that can befall even the best designers, PTY insisted on fabricating and sending a sample to the build site for on-site testing of the retrofit cage. We provided partial samples of the main chandelier, as well as complete samples of the replacement wall sconce and its’ crystal dressing. From there, we gathered all the stakeholders involved on the project (PTY Lighting, Benjamin West, Krause and Sawyer), to evaluate the results of the test. Thanks to the feedback from our clients, PTY Lighting was able to make the final necessary adjustments and revisions before moving ahead to fabrication.

“Our experience is positive with respect to their being able to offer valuable suggestions on design and manufacturing matters. They’re a key member of our vendor team.“

- Peter Serpico

CEO of OmniBuild Construction

The Finishing Touch

$

Moving Forward

With our revised specifications and notes from the on-site test of the retrofit frames, we moved forward into production stage of the project.
The final design approved upon resulted in a large metal frame donning very large hanging crystals, that would fit around and over the previous fixture. Due to the size and complexity of the fixture, we took special care in measuring the precise lengths of each strip of metal while simultaneously fortifying them to hold the large hanging crystals that the chandelier would be dressed with.

Because this is a retrofit rather than your typical installation, the fixtures were built with the installation process in mind. We shipped the frame in segments that could be fit onto the old chandelier section by section, while also creating a detailed installation guide that detailed the precise method as to which new chandeliers were designed to be installed with. This greatly eased and streamlined the installer’s job on-site. Once the fixture was received, we sent one of our in-house experts to oversee the installation and assist with any and all difficulties that may have occurred.

\

The Finishing Touch

First, we would need to ensure the retrofit cage would fit onto the
existing electrical framework and the dressing could fully take advantage of the type of existing lighting.

Second, we would need to capture precise specifications of the existing chandeliers so as to determine the size of the frame we potentially design. Afterward, the Brooklyn Marriott team provided us with the existing lighting
Finally, with all the information and measurements in hand, a scope of work is created. During this phase, our team decides the type of crystals that will adorn the finished frame. If poorly chosen, it could potentially result in a crystal dressing that can’t fully utilize the available lighting and thus look lackluster as the finished product.

THE PROCESS

Our Path To Success

01.

ANALYSIS & ENGINEERING

Reviewing the pertinent information we set forth planning the most design-minded and cost-effective approach. Engineering of the fixtures had the aesthetics, function and the installation process as a priority.

02.

DETAILED DESIGN

After careful consideration, our designers crafted production drawings, down to the fine details. The drawings were crafted and then reviewed by the onsite engineers, electricians and designers on the project.

03.

TESTING

Once the design drawings were created and approved, our team quickly moved into fabricating the first retrofit cages, to install and examine onsite. With a few slight revisions, we were ready for full production.

04.

MANUFACTURING

With testing now completed, manufacturing proceeded, including the producing of the retrofit cages for the grand chandeliers, matching wall sconces clusters surrounding the room and the crystal dressing for each.

05.

INSTALLATION

Due to the complexity of the installation, our staff helped guide othe site installers along the way with detailed installation instructions, well packaged and organzied parts, weekly team conferences and frequent site visits to ensure success.

Cambria Hotel & Suites is an upscale brand of Choice Hotels that provides top-notch, modern accommodations targeted towards today’s discriminating business traveler.

PTY Lighting provided custom lighting design services to the Cambria Hotel & Suites in McAllen, Texas. This hotel is connected to the McAllen Convention Center and is a critical hub for commercial travelers and convention-goers. It also has close proximity to the airport, with free airport transportation.

Challenges & Considerations: Designing Lighting for Cambria Hotel & Suites

As an important commercial hub, the Cambria Hotel & Suites McAllen Convention Center needed to project a very modern and appealing design aesthetic, especially with its decorative lighting.

We know, from speaking with our clients, how hard it is to find a vendor to provide quality lighting for both guest rooms and public spaces, on time, as expected.

As this project had a relatively short time span, from March to September of 2016, we had to work quickly and efficiently to design and produce the custom interior lighting that would be the

finishing touches on the hotel.

The key companies we worked with on this project were Choice Hotels, corporate owners of the Cambria Hotel & Suites Brand, O’Reilly Hospitality, a leading hospitality company that designs and develops hotels, and Layton Construction, the 14th largest hospitality construction firm in the United States.

In working with these companies, we offered our full consultation services in all stages of the process. From the initial design to the manufacture and shipping of the lights, PTY Lighting was there every step of the way to help create a unique look for this beautiful, modern hotel.

Custom Lighting Design Solutions to Meet an Upscale Business Market

As hospitality lighting manufacturers, we know that with the sophisticated consumers of today, you can’t have lighting that looks cheap. This is especially true when it comes to hotel lighting fixtures. They need to be either memorable as a design statement or provide subtle accents to a guest room or lounge. One thing these lights can’t be is tacky, unsuitably old-fashioned, or obtrusive.

1. Lounges and Common Areas

The public-facing areas at the Cambria Hotel & Suites McAllen Convention Center need to provide a sense of wow and impact but in a subtle way. With clean, sharp lines reminiscent of Mid-Century Modern design, but updated for the new millennia, the iconic, sturdy furniture needed creative lighting to accent it.

Our lighting solutions included custom pendant lighting, including some with simple brass lines and accents.

In one of the smaller lounge areas, we helped design an upside-down forest of hanging old-school lightbulbs, which gives the room a playful yet sophisticated air.

Each lighting fixture chosen for the public lounge areas was designed to accent the room perfectly while providing bright enough lighting to enable guests to relax, chat with friends, or check up on the latest stock news on their smartphones.

2. Restaurants and Eating Areas

The restaurants and public eating areas in the Cambria Hotel & Suites McAllen Convention Center mix stone, wood, and metal with vibrant colors and tactile fabrics. Along one row of tables, a collection of pendant lights hangs in a line, providing a visual demarcation for the room and the perfect level of lighting for customers enjoying their meals.

At the bar, sleek semi-circles of black hang down in a staggered array from a lit circular area in the ceiling. The effect is cozy yet striking.

3. Conference Rooms

The Cambria’s conference rooms needed more than just your standard “blah” hotel lighting. They needed to be more than boring schoolrooms or office space so no cheap fluorescent light panels would do.

Keeping with the Mid-Century design theme, the conference rooms’ custom chandeliers recall the fascination with the atom during the “atomic age” from 1940 to 1960, with spherical lights emanating off of black spokes.

These slightly whimsical custom light fixtures add just the right touch of pizazz to what would otherwise be a more functional room. The grey carpet, which is accented with darker grey rectangles in various sizes and directions, provides visual balance to the round lights above.

4. Guest Rooms

The Cambria Hotel & Suites McAllen Convention Center guest rooms continued in the streamlined style of the lobby and public areas. Grays, woods, and rich browns are appointed in rich fabrics, hardwood floors, and real wood accents.

The guest room lighting needed to be functional and fashionable. Chrome or bronze desk lamps were designed as classic hinged lamps, with a slight retro feel but immaculate lines.

Larger room laps follow the Mid-Century theme, with graceful curved stands supporting large white lampshades.

Wall sconces provide extra light for reading as well as an additional quality of metal to balance the strong wood theme of the walls and hardwood floors.
