In February of 2014, the City of Philadelphia announced that the partnership of New York based Peebles Corporation and P&A Associates, of Philadelphia, will be the developers for the adaptive reuse of the Historic 1801 Vine St. Family Court Building into a new luxury Kimpton Hotel. Daroff Design has been selected to provide the interior design services to reposition this historic gem into a iconic hotel on Philadelphia's parkway. The 250,000 square foot building will be transformed into a hotel with approximately 200 keys, a fitness center, a boardroom, various meeting rooms, and a destination restaurant and bar. 

 

We look forward with enthusiasm to our collaboration with Projects Architects, Beyer Blinder Belle, and other specialty consultants to create a new luxury hospitality experience adjacent to Logan Square and Philadelphia's Parkway Museums District!
