Adjacent to Verizon’s global headquarters campus, The Ridge Hotel provides opportunities for visiting employees and clients to socialize and solve business challenges away from the office. Enlisted to redesign the hotel, Gensler revamped public areas including the lobby, lounge, library, meeting and event spaces, and fitness center. The bar and restaurant, under the direction of a James Beard award-winning chef, provide an elevated destination for visitors, and the 171 guestrooms offer a warm and comfortable environment while retaining a minimal aesthetic.
The inspiration for its minimal yet inviting style was garnered from Basking Ridge's history, heritage, and natural surroundings. Oak plays an important role in the hotel's interior spaces, along with other handcrafted elements such as oil-polished bronze, burnished brass, and hand-knotted rugs.
