Locally Inspired Design
Developed as an adaptive reuse of Philadelphia's historic Stephen Girard Building, BLT Architects, an integrated architecture firm, worked in collaboration with interior designer AvroKo to pay homage to the City's historic roots while creating an authentic modern experience. The design applies many of the original Beaux-Arts architectural elements to create a contemporary interpretation featuring plasterwork, rosettes, columns and detailing.
The hotel design is brought to life by its bold energy, colors and patterns, which are inspired by Philadelphia's vibrant history of art and culture. Specifically, the hotel nods to Philadelphia's lineage of hip-hop culture by incorporating the early looks "Big Fashion" which is displayed by the property's vibrant patterning on fabrics, and eye-catching pops in the material selections. Notably, the hotel's robust art program – which is heavily inspired by Philadelphia's modern street art – often refers back to the hip-hop genre to create the hotel's unique modern Beaux-Arts hybrid. With an emphasis on creating a truly local experience, Canopy Philadelphia invited local artists to contribute their vision for many of the larger murals throughout the hotel.
Located in the birthplace of the modern U.S. department store, the public space at Canopy Philadelphia mirrors the experience of walking through a large department store with a focus on millwork detailing and reflecting display cases. Throughout the retreat, guests can experience a collection of Philly-centric shoppable retail such as home goods, jewelry, gifts and more. The retail experience has been specifically curated for this location by local collector and retailer, Kate Egan, owner of the local luxury lifestyle and jewelry stores, Egan Day and Egan Day Rittenhouse.
