The design of Daytona Palms Hotel & Market draws inspiration from its location along the shores of Daytona Beach, Florida. Its eclectic and sustainable design reflects the town’s vibrant energy and coastal atmosphere, creating a space that feels both invigorating and relaxing. Modern interior elements, unique lighting fixtures, bright inviting colors, tropical accents, and durable materials have been incorporated throughout to enhance the eclectic design scheme. Principles of space planning, sustainability, user-centered design, and universal design have also be utilized. Every step of the project has been carefully considered to create a space that improves the health and well being of individuals.

Daytona Palms Hotel & Market focuses on highlighting unique cultures and heritage, and while decreasing one’s carbon footprint. Information gathered from multiple scholarly sources, site visits,an online survey, and interviews with designers and local businesses helped fortify our design philosophy and understand what types of features and design characteristics individuals are attracted to in hotels, restaurants, retail spaces, wellness centers, museums, and rooftop gardens. Overall, these results shaped the conceptual and final design of Daytona Palms Hotel & Market.
