For more than 30 years since its founding in 1979, Hnedak Bobo Group (HBG) has provided architectural excellence to the gaming and entertainment industry. Publications such as Engineering News Record, Hotel Business and Hospitality Construction rank Hnedak Bobo Group as a top-10 leader in the U.S. hospitality design industry.
The firm’s collaborative culture and progressive designs have attracted the attention of leading industry organizations and publications-landing HBG as one of the nation’s “Best Architecture Firms to Work For,” as ranked by Building Design and Construction magazine and Zweig White.
The 100-person architecture, interior design and development management firm focuses its passion for entertainment design on propelling their clients’ success in the gaming and hospitality markets. Understanding how design and planning influences their clients’ successful business operations is the cornerstone of HBG’s philosophy, and is key to its own success. That understanding comes from delivering more than $3 billion in destination gaming and resort projects nationwide, and also as developers and owners of hospitality real estate.
Walking in the owner’s shoes as developers of the $40 million Westin Memphis Beale Street Hotel affords HBG the opportunity to experience design from a rare perspective, fostering a deeper understanding of the balance between operational efficiency, financial performance and design aesthetics. The firm is focused on translating its experience into practical solutions for its clients.
HBG has cemented its reputation as designers of distinctive entertainment and gaming resort destinations. In the past 10 years alone, the firm has led the design of more than 15,000 hotel rooms encompassing 10 million square feet of resort, gaming and convention space.
The firm has progressively grown its core hospitality business to include a focused specialty in Indian gaming. Today, HBG is one of the largest providers of professional services in Indian Country, with client relationships representing 25 tribal business enterprises across the country. A recent acquisition has also expanded the firm’s markets to include mass-attendance attractions, large-scale arenas and family entertainment experiences.
In 2009, HBG will celebrate four of its major gaming projects entering the market with the completion of Wind Creek Casino and Hotel in Atmore, Alabama; Greektown Casino and Hotel in Detroit; the Oaklawn Jockey Club gaming expansion in Hot Springs, Arkansas; and the Northern Quest Casino expansion in Airway Heights (Spokane), Washington. HBG looks forward to continuing to offer the best in design and operational sensibility to its roster of esteemed, visionary clients.
