“Designers must continue to evolve using inspiration from fashion and product design to help the creative mind evolve from business as usual. I think pulling hyper-local arts and culture are more important now than ever. Authenticity is expected and the idea of a contrived composition no longer validates a sense of place. We strive to create something original and timeless in all we do that ultimately gives our owners a better ROI and NOI. We always think of their money like it’s our money. I also think sustainability and innovation with respect to the same is top of mind for most travelers. People want to protect Mother Earth and our value on projects and ownership that share these values.”

“Renovations have touched every corner of the property, with new villas designed to weave together the textures, colours and materials of the Texas landscape. Design elements inspired by indigenous Texas flora and fauna include cool, crisp blues that reflect the opulence of Texas Topaz and the bountiful surrounding lakes, and porcelain tile that nods to the earthy tones of sage and cactus. Touches of leather in warm brown and amber tones evoke the nostalgia of the property’s past as a ranch, with stitching details reminiscent of saddle craftsmanship.”

LEO A DALY Earns Top Interior Design Award from The Hospitality Industry Network (NEWH) Dallas Chapter
Winners are chosen as the elite firms who deliver exceptional interior design and provide support to NEWH
The LEO A DALY Dallas studio was awarded a 2024 NEWH TopID Award, which is considered the highest honor bestowed upon an interior design firm within the organization’s awards programs. The award recognizes how design members of the chapter inspire others to exceed creative standards and give back to the industry through involvement and volunteerism with NEWH.
Micaela Sheffield, Senior Interior Designer for LEO A DALY says the award feels especially rewarding, given the organization’s mission, stating, “NEWH is a globe-spanning community connecting the collective hospitality industry, offering leadership development, scholarships and education for the current and future hospitality designers. To receive this award from our colleagues in Dallas means we’re making an impact not only in designing celebrated hospitality environments, but also giving back to the industry as a whole.”
As part of the judging criteria, LEO A DALY submitted their interior design work on Shore House at the Del, which opened in 2022 as the crowning achievement of the multi-year master plan for the revitalization of the historic Hotel del Coronado. Coastal California Casual, the owner’s vision for this seaside hotel, was brought to life through creative interior design and embracing the hotel’s breathtaking location. Drawing inspiration from its rich legacy, the project challenged designers to preserve a 150-year tradition of iconic luxury while manifesting a contemporary, casual experience.
