Rest Point Hotel

Brand Identity

Rest Point is a conceptual branding project for a modern roadside hotel designed for design-conscious travellers seeking warmth, comfort and a sense of pause. Inspired by classic Americana, desert motels and mid-century hospitality, the brand reimagines the traditional roadside stop as an elevated, characterful retreat. The project explores how thoughtful branding and in-room collateral can transform a transient stay into a memorable experience.

  • I led the project from concept to execution, creating the brand identity, visual language and a suite of room-based and guest-facing collateral. This included naming development, logo design, colour palette, typography, signage concepts and branded touchpoints such as menus, door hangers, merchandise and wayfinding elements.

  • The identity balances retro charm with contemporary refinement. I developed a warm, sun-faded colour palette inspired by desert landscapes and mid-century interiors, paired with bold yet friendly typography. The logo mark uses simplified, graphic forms to reference rest, movement and destination — reinforcing the idea of pausing mid-journey.

    The system was designed to be flexible across physical and digital applications, with particular attention paid to how the brand lives within the guest experience: from arrival signage and room details to casual, lifestyle-led merchandise. A sense of texture was used to ensure the brand felt tactile, welcoming and rooted in place.

  • The final outcome is a cohesive, adaptable brand system that repositions the roadside motel as an intentional, design-led destination rather than a functional stopover. Rest Point feels warm, confident and memorable, with a strong visual identity that carries consistently across signage, interiors and guest touchpoints - demonstrating how considered branding can elevate hospitality experiences at every scale.
