We are thrilled to announce, alongside Jenny Bukovec Design, that The Manchester Hotel has been honored with the prestigious title of Lifestyle Hotel of the Year at the HD Awards!

Our heartfelt congratulations go to the talented design team led by Jenny, and our very own Brent Bruner!

Situated on the historic grounds of the former Ashland Distillery, The Manchester Hotel seamlessly blends Lexington's rich bourbon heritage with modern design and upscale amenities, establishing itself as a must-visit destination for travelers and a beloved local hotspot. The exterior, styled in a "Rickhouse Revival" aesthetic, pays homage to the traditional structures of bourbon production that once graced this very location.

We love when our team gets a little bigger! Please help us welcome Mitchel to the EOP | Champlin Louisville office.

Born in Havana, Cuba, Mitchel's path to design began early, receiving his first drafting table at age 10. His passions led him to earn an industrial and graphic design degree from IPDI in Havana, an degree in drafting and CAD from Louisville Tech, and a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Kentucky. Mitchel's design philosophy is deeply influenced by Vitruvian principles, harmonizing functionality, durability, and beauty. With many years of experience, Mitchel thrives on transforming inspiration into tangible, livable spaces. Outside of design, his world revolves around painting, sculpting, family, friends, an appreciation for all music genres, and a love for the ocean.

We are so proud of our very own Senior Interior Designer Lesley Thomas for telling her story and journey to leadership in design to National Association of Women in Construction this week at an event hosted by our friends at Office Resources, Inc. She spoke about being on both sides of mentorship, learning from mistakes, and how to find opportunities if you are willing to speak up. We love when our own get to express their passion and speak to their peers.
