The developer of the Iron Horse Hotel renovated and preserved a neglected 100-year old brick warehouse with a close-up view of the spectacular new Harley Davidson Museum. He wanted to create an upscale hotel that mingled “business suits and biker leathers.” Transforming the 90,000 sq ft warehouse into a luxury boutique hotel with 100 guest rooms was an exercise in fusing “industrial era form and modern-day function. The hotel’s interior captures the American Industrial era with beam construction, exposed brick, and iron details preserved from the original structure.” The renovated warehouse/hotel retains existing timber supports, leaves brick walls exposed, and utilizes other interior components as sculptural elements. Everything modern has been fitted into the venerable old space.
Prominent Features
Secure and durable DORMA Architectural Hardware was selected for efficient new doorways in the renovated space. Specifiers were able to choose from
a wide range of finishes and trim styles to match the innovative dècor, without compromising requirements for reliable, safe, and secure hardware. The range of DORMA products selected include 8900 Series Heavy-Duty Door Closers, 9000 Series Heavy-Duty Exit Devices, LM Series Pivots, CL800 and CL700 Series Cylindrical Locksets, and ED800 Low Energy Power Operators.
