Retro Hospitality, a Virginia-based hospitality firm, has chosen Tambourine, a digital marketing company working with resorts, hotels, and tourism destinations, to reinvent the digital experience for Quirk Hotels.
Retro Hospitality aimed to bring art and design-focused boutiques to the limelight of its digital story following the addition of a second location in Charlottesville, Virginia, in March of 2020. To introduce potential guests to both properties, Tambourine designers created a dual splash page experience for Quirk Hotels. The user can then switch between the Charlottesville and Richmond locations on the website.
Tambourine is a digital marketing firm reshaping the hospitality industry with custom-integrated marketing solutions for resorts, hotels, and destinations worldwide. The firm’s prominence in the market for independent and branded hotels is a testament to its core values, which include raising standards for hotel website design, a customer-first approach, and making performance digital marketing simpler and more lucrative for its valued partners.
Diego Rodriguez, Design Lead at Tambourine, shared, "We wanted to enrich the brand narrative by linking both properties, but we also wanted to give each property an individual user experience." He added, "We strived to design a website that embodies the beautiful in-person experience. Tambourine was part of the original Quirk Hotels launch in Richmond, so we are excited to see the original vision expanded upon."
