The little studio with a big heart.
After designing for some of the biggest names in hospitality, our founder - Erica Bernal - saw the same issues repeated over and over: missed details, slow communication and clients feeling like just another project number. She knew there had to be a better way to do hotel design.
That’s why she founded Ela Hospitality Design. A small but mighty studio where every project gets full attention, every detail matters and every client feels like a VIP. We offer the expertise of a large design firm with the warmth, honesty and accessibility of a dedicated professional partner.
