Looking for a luxury boutique hotel interior designer in St. Louis or beyond? At Rachel Blindauer, we specialize in creating immersive, brand-aligned hotel interiors that captivate guests and elevate ROI. From full-service hotel renovations to branded signature suites and sensory guest experiences, we help boutique properties stand apart with design that feels effortless, curated, and unforgettable.

When a Hotel Becomes the Destination

A boutique hotel succeeds not by scale—but by soul.

In a world of templated luxury and indistinguishable lobbies, the true boutique experience stands apart: it evokes, it surprises, it lingers. And increasingly, it is the interior—the light against the wall, the materials that tell a story, the quiet choreography of arrival—that defines whether a property is simply visited… or remembered.

At Rachel Blindauer, we transform spaces into fully realized sensory experiences. From spatial design to visual identity, we craft immersive environments where beauty is not just seen—it’s felt.

Why Boutique Hotels Choose Rachel Blindauer

Designing for the hospitality industry requires more than good taste. It demands strategic clarity, narrative thinking, and an obsessive attention to emotional resonance.

Luxury Interior Expertise

With a background in high-end residential, commercial, and yacht interiors, our studio brings a level of refinement that translates seamlessly to boutique hospitality.

Brand-Centric Design

Every space begins with the story. We align interiors with the hotel’s distinct personality—ensuring that each touchpoint reinforces a singular, unforgettable brand.

Elevated Guest Experience

From the texture of the linens to the lighting in the spa, we design with the guest’s senses in mind—enhancing comfort, encouraging connection, and deepening loyalty.

Market Positioning that Performs

Design is your first impression—and your strongest differentiator. Hotels with compelling environments command higher nightly rates, increased press visibility, and greater direct bookings.

“The best hotel experiences don’t shout luxury. They whisper presence.”
— Rachel Blindauer

Design That Performs: Maximizing ROI in Boutique Hospitality

An investment in great design is not aesthetic—it’s strategic.

• Higher ADR (Average Daily Rate): Well-designed rooms command premium pricing
• Brand Awareness: Beautiful spaces generate press, influencer content, and social buzz
• Guest Retention: A coherent, curated experience builds loyalty and drives repeat visits
• Differentiation in a Saturated Market: Guests remember how your hotel felt—not just how it looked

From the Designer

“In my work across the U.S., I’ve found that design becomes most magnetic when it reflects both place and intention. Whether I’m developing a project in Sarasota or a rooftop spa in St. Louis, the goal is always to design not just for luxury, but for loyalty.”
