Exhibits for Historic Hotels & Heritage Properties

Bring Your Hotel’s History Into the Guest Experience

Historic hotels aren’t just places to stay—they’re living stories. We design and build custom exhibits that help guests connect with your building’s past through timelines, archival photography, display cases, and immersive storytelling moments placed throughout your property.

From grand lobbies to quiet hallways, we create interpretive displays that feel intentional, beautiful, and respectful of historic architecture.

Historic Storytelling That Feels Intentional

We turn your hotel’s history into curated timelines and interpretive moments that feel integrated into the space, not added on later. Each story element is designed to complement your architecture, interior design, and guest flow, creating meaningful touchpoints that invite guests to pause, learn, and connect with the place they’re staying.

Designed for Historic Buildings

Historic properties come with unique constraints, and we design with those realities in mind. Our exhibits account for preservation guidelines, ADA access, building codes, and low-impact mounting methods so installations respect historic materials while remaining safe, compliant, and reversible when required.

Archive Photos, Beautifully Displayed

We help organize and present archival photos, documents, and ephemera in ways that feel intentional and readable. Through thoughtful layouts, materials, and finishes, we turn raw archives into curated displays that enhance your interiors and make history approachable for guests.

Custom Display Cases & Details

From small artifacts to meaningful objects tied to your hotel’s story, we design museum-quality display cases that protect what matters. Each case is tailored to your space, lighting conditions, and visitor interaction level, balancing security, visibility, and design.

Lighting That Respects the Space

Lighting in historic buildings requires care. We plan for low-light environments, glare control, and conservation-friendly illumination so exhibits are readable without overpowering the space or risking damage to sensitive materials.

End-to-End Design & Fabrication

We support projects from early concept through fabrication and installation coordination. Whether you need help shaping the story, designing the layouts, or producing the physical elements, we integrate with your team to deliver exhibits that are durable, beautiful, and built to last.

Why Historic Hotels Work With Atomic Carrots

We create custom, site-specific exhibit elements for heritage properties, including:

  • Timelines that share your hotel’s history
  • Archival photo displays and curated story panels
  • Custom display cases for artifacts and ephemera
  • Interactive or tactile elements (when appropriate)
  • Wayfinding and story moments integrated into public spaces

Each exhibit is designed to complement your existing interior design, not compete with it.
