Hotel Zessa

Hospitality

DoubleTree Santa Ana chose Tenderling to create a full soft-brand for their Orange County hotel—including strategy, naming, visual identity and brand guidelines.

Modern hotel lobby with abstract rugs, stylish furniture, two large art pieces on the walls, and warm-toned lighting from floor lamps and ceiling fixtures.

Approach

Tenderling soft-branded this flagged hotel to create authentic experiences and connect to SoCal locals. With a focus on sunny dispositions and bright colors, the brand radiates a warm, welcoming energy that mirrors the vibrant, laid-back spirit of Southern California.
