Kostali Chicago | The Gwen Hotel

Bendheim’s TurnKey™ feature wall system, which seamlessly transitions to the ceiling, is a key element of the interior design. Integrated strip LED back-lighting and customized, sophisticated gold-colored TurnKey™ hardware and trims coordinate with other interior finishes. The glass is laminated safety, featuring a refined, timeless fluted texture and a custom blue color. The system seamlessly integrates glass and wood panels, adding texture and depth to the surfaces.

Our TurnKey glass cladding system is designed for speedy, budget-friendly interior retrofits. The panels are captured by our patented miniature 1” x 0.5” fittings (smaller than traditional standoffs), which don’t require expensive glass drilling, to boot. It is fully integrated with the lighting, and tested for safety, durability, and structural performance. The inherent ease of installation allowed the system to be installed by The Gwen’s own staff.

In 2021, The Gwen hotel was ranked No. 1 in Chicago and No. 8 in the world in Conde Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards.
