More details

According to a Dec. 16 news release, the interior design of the hotel is a collaboration with Bunkhouse Hotel and Post Company, a New York- and Wyoming-based design studio.

The designers created the space to feel like one is "stepping into a private curator's home," and drew inspiration from surroundings such as the Menil's actual home and Houston itself.
