NARRATIVE DESIGN STUDIO’ S DESIGN FOR THE KIMPTON MIRADOR PACIFIC GROVE UNITES SOPHISTICATION AND SIMPLICITY

Narrative Design Studio, a San Francisco-based interior design firm founded by Shannon Niehenke, has brought attention to Pacific Grove- one of California’ s coastal hidden gems.
Having historically been overshadowed by Carmel and Monterey, Pacific Grove proves to be a small town with prominent architectural character, according to Niehenke.
Immersed in the fog-kissed landscape, the newly designed Kimpton Mirador hotel blends sophistication and simplicity for its guests. The hotel provides comfort and serenity, with inspiration from the region’ s natural beauty. Featuring 99 uniquely designed rooms and its signature restaurant, The Caledonian, the space acts as the perfect base for travelers hoping to immerse themselves in the surrounding Pacific Grove area and beyond.
