GGB PODCAST: Steve Peck, Associate Principal, Klai Juba Wald Architects

It’s been open less than a month and already the Guitar Hotel at Hard Rock Hollywood is a must-see attraction in South Florida. Steve Peck was the lead architect on the project, working alongside his partners at Klai Juba Wald Architects based in Las Vegas. Peck explains how the logistics of designing and building a guitar-shaped structure worked, what were some of the hurdles they had to overcome, and how it wasn’t just a guitar shaped hotel, but a renovation of the entire property—while it remained open. He also reveals how he worked with the design partners and restaurant and retail tenants to create the stunning property. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros in November for the cover story of Casino Style magazine, just released this week. To read the full story, visit CasinoStyleMagazine.com.
