“Our aim was to create a colorful and unique experience for the millennial-minded traveler.” Says to Archipanic Dan Mazzarini owner of BHDM Design who interpreted the “Nature Meets Neon” interior design concept developed by Army of Moon People.
“We’ve designed Shoreline to be the backdrop to an already exciting getaway, and for guests and the community to share memories of their visit.” A Pink Neon wall featuring “ALOHA” neon and a signature hat wall painted by is an ever-changing backdrop to welcome travelers.
The open-air lobby features tropical “jungle walls”, rattan cage light fixtures housing paper bird sculptures of species native to Hawaii, and geometric shaped furnishings mixed with bold colors and natural materials. Guests can lounge on a 14-foot long sofa and modern yellow wingback chairs. blue metal end tables and Acacia wood cocktail tables complete the setting.
The hotel boasts playful and laid back local influence throughout, with pops of color, artwork, and original pieces – tropical wallpaper and multi-colored floors with fluorescent kinetic hallways lead to the decorated rooms.
The rooftop pool deck includes one-of-a-kind neon wall murals painted by California based artist DJ Neff and vibrant mood lighting for a colorful poolside experience with sweeping city and Waikiki Beach views.
“The artwork I created for Shoreline was inspired by the idea of growth – represented in the colorful compositions of different plants and their unique forms growing over and through each other on the murals by the pool” Explains DJ Neff.
Each room is redesigned with custom carpet, bedding, drapery, and furnishings, along with a “you are here” topographic map of the Hawaiian islands hanging over beds. Shoreline Hotel Waikiki, managed by Filament Hospitality, will offer a calendar of new hotel programming
