STATE NATIONAL BANK BUILDING | MOXY BY MARRIOTT

Standing tall over Houston's Main Street since 1923, the State National Bank Building survives as one of the city's last remaining Neo-Classical skyscrapers. This 20th century structure and the haunts of its banking past are learning to loosen up and live a little, thanks to Moxy by Marriott's playful attitude. The hotel will feature 119 guestrooms, main lobby and bar.

Campo is providing both Architectural and Interior Design services for this exciting renovation while also serving as the Historic Tax Credit Consultant. The design team has carefully curated finishes and fixtures to balance the building's traditional elements with tongue-in-cheek Moxy moments. The existing historic marble wainscoting can be experienced throughout the hotel, but so can the new, unbuttoned atmosphere.

The hotel bar, which also serves as the reception desk, features a custom pneumatic tube system like those employed at bank drive-thrus. Guests can send messages to the bar from the upstairs lounge while playing board games or working in the library. Copper penny tile surrounds the face of the bar to point back to the building's origins as a bank. A custom wheat paste mural, Southern drawl captured in neon lights, leather and cowhide accents center the space in its Texan environment.
