See how we compare
Compared to Architectural Firms
While these firms offer world-class expertise, they are often overkill for the majority of hotel interior projects, resulting in slow timelines and excessive costs. Monarch delivers comparable high-end design quality but with significantly more agility and a specialized focus on interiors, saving you time and money.
Compared to Design
Studios
Many traditional studios are now owned by private equity, leading to cost-cutting, outsourcing to junior staff, and a "churn and burn" mentality that treats clients like numbers. Monarch counters this by remaining independent and family-owned, ensuring that your project is handled by experienced principals who care deeply about the outcome.
Compared to Freelance Designers
Freelancers offer personalized attention but often lack the scalability, software infrastructure, and industry leverage to handle complex projects or troubleshoot issues effectively. Monarch combines the VIP personal attention of a freelancer with the robust capabilities, vendor relationships, and reliability of a fully established firm.

Big-firm expertise, family-owned integrity.
Monarch Hotel Design is a family-owned business that was born from a desire to do things better.

We are here to prove that you can have high-quality design without the bloat, the errors, or the stress.
