Right in the middle of it all, 2 blocks from Penn Station, is Eventi, a four-star boutique hotel where killer views come standard.

The challenge with Kimpton's collection of hotels was to create a common set of branding elements, a "shell" to let guests know they're on a Kimpton site, while allowing the hotel's personality to shine through.
Another challenge for the phone was to design a clean, simple booking path with limited taps. I worked within the constraints of Sabre Hospitality's booking engine and also designed integrated promotions into a home page slider.
I also designed a stripped-down version for the Balckberry phone. The same design principals apply - keep menus short, make it easy to get Home, and guide users to easy bookings.
The EPIC site looks and works great on a tablet. The large images really pop. Navigation is a breeze with large primary action buttons and clear labeling.
Social Media is employed for news and events, promotions, and for guests to share photos and stories - especially weddings.
