A comprehensive lifestyle boutique hotel renovation, WITH AOR EXPERTISE PROVIDED BY San Francisco Hotel Architects AXIS Architecture + Design
Late 2025, one of AXIS’ most recent upscale boutique soft-branded hotel conversion and renovation projects, the Martis Valley Lodge, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, quietly celebrated its completion and grand opening. A boutique mountain retreat located in Truckee, California, the project saw AXIS serve as AOR and assist in transforming a former Hampton Inn into a new 109-room contemporary lodge-style hospitality destination authentically inspired by the natural beauty of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Heavily inspired by the changing seasons of the Sierra Nevada and the sports-focused sensibilities that define the Lake Tahoe region, the project repositioned the property from a conventional select service hotel into a distinctive boutique lodge. From winter skiing to summer hiking and lake activities, the hotel has been updated to serve as a basecamp for year-round exploration.
The renovation significantly upgrades the guest experience throughout the property. The refreshed lodge now features reimagined communal areas that encourage social gathering and relaxation after a day in the mountains. Amenities including a new outdoor firepit lounge, a modernized pool deck, and updated arrival experience.
