First impressions matter. From reception to guest spaces, our performance wallcovering creates elevated hotel experiences that feel intentional, welcoming, and lasting. Explore these projects as seen in our new issue of The Drop magazine.

 

A great guest room is one that feels easy to settle into. In the Meritage Resort and Spa Napa Valley guest room, design firm HBA San Francisco wrapped in [V](https://www.phillipjeffries.com/shop/wallcoverings?pj_grid%5BrefinementList%5D%5Bitmclss%5D%5B0%5D=VI1000590)[inyl Woven Sisal.](https://www.phillipjeffries.com/shop/wallcoverings?pj_grid%5BrefinementList%5D%5Bitmclss%5D%5B0%5D=VI1000590) The space strikes a balance between relaxed comfort and elevated design. The texture brings a natural sensibility to the room, while the vinyl construction ensures long‑lasting performance behind the scenes.

Elevated First Impressions  
Below, in the lobby of the Ritz Carlton residences in Washington D.C., interior designer Forrest Perkins chose our [Adorn collection](https://www.phillipjeffries.com/shop/wallcoverings?pj_grid%5BrefinementList%5D%5Bitmclss%5D%5B0%5D=SP1001070) to add depth and movement, transforming the space into a refined yet inviting arrival experience. Subtle, sculptural, and endlessly sophisticated, it’s a statement that welcomes guests with effortless elegance. It’s the kind of detail guests may not immediately name, but they feel it—the richness, the balance, the quiet confidence of a space designed to be enjoyed and remembered.

**Guest Room Chic**  
At the Wequassett Resort, Phillip Jeffries’ Vinyl Lakeside Linen brings quiet texture and coastal ease to the guest room experience. Designed by Rachel Reider, the space embraces a sense of retreat with subtle woven patterns and softened tonal variation for a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. Engineered for performance, this contract-grade vinyl delivers the durability hospitality requires while maintaining the look and feel of a natural textile. The result is a backdrop that feels effortless and elevated, setting the tone for rest, comfort, and a stay that feels thoughtfully designed from the moment guests arrive.

**Boutique Hotel Room Dreams**  
At Lily Hall Boutique Hotel, a custom wallcovering from Phillip Jeffries sets a quietly expressive tone within the guest rooms. Designed by Leslie May Nicholson, *Ellie’s View* was created as a bespoke solution—tailored specifically for the space and its coastal-modern sensibility. Soft movement and layered nuance bring depth to the room without distraction, creating a serene backdrop that enhances the feeling of escape. Crafted with hospitality in mind, the custom wallcovering delivers both visual impact and performance, transforming the guest room into a place where thoughtful design supports rest, comfort, and a distinctly personal stay.

**Quiet Sophistication**  
From the energy of public spaces to the calm of the guest room, materiality guides the experience. Here, [Vinyl Vibrations](https://www.phillipjeffries.com/shop/CARD-N-VIBRATIONS/8697)[in Sea Salt](https://www.phillipjeffries.com/shop/CARD-N-VIBRATIONS/8697) softens the narrative in this condo in Bal Harbor, Florida. Sarah Z Designs chose elevated neutrals and gentle movement to create a restful atmosphere, while performance vinyl ensured that the space remains as beautiful as it is functional—night after night.
