Map Illustration for a Lifestyle Resort in Miami Beach

A Hyatt Andaz resort (formerly The Confidante) reached out, having seen my original South Beach Miami map in an editorial feature and recognising it as a neat fit. The project involved adapting that illustration into a custom resort map design for a printed neighbourhood guide, created in the soft pastel brand colours that echoed both the property’s vintage interiors and the classic Miami Beach palette.

The printed Neighbourhood Guide designed for a Miami Beach lifestyle resort. Featuring my custom illustrated map, the guide offered guests a stylish and informative overview of local dining, shopping, and nightlife.

The final piece starred their location with a hand-lettered version of their logo, and highlighted up-and-coming districts, places to eat, and local spots worth exploring. This kind of map illustration for lifestyle hotels doesn’t just look good! It extends brand tone, encourages exploration, and adds value to the guest experience.

Seaside Map Leaflet for a Historic Isle of Wight Hotel

I created this bespoke printed map for the Seaview Hotel, a historic coastal hotel on the Isle of Wight, to be used as part of a six-panel roll-fold leaflet for guests. The front cover features my hand-lettered title and a backdrop of illustrated details pulled from the map - designed in a bright, beachy palette to reflect the feel of the island.

Isle of Wight welcome leaflet, featuring a hand-lettered map cover and interior pages with spot illustrations of local attractions. A printed takeaway designed to reinforce brand presence while adding value to the guest experience.

The reverse includes local recommendations with accompanying spot illustrations, while the map itself highlights attractions across the island, with the hotel clearly marked to help guests orient themselves during day trips.

For the hotel, this project worked on two fronts - offering visitors something practical and beautifully made, while also reinforcing brand presence beyond the building itself.

Map Flyer for a Boutique Beauty Studio in Miami

Gee Beauty’s Miami studio licensed one of my editorial maps to support their on-site marketing - a seamless fit for their Sunset Harbor location and soft, sunny palette. I added a custom illustration to represent the studio in my style, integrating them into the map as part of a curated local scene.

Used as a custom map flyer for spas and salons, the piece quietly extended their brand presence while offering guests a visual guide to the neighbourhood. Surrounded by spots like Lucali, Panther Coffee, and Barry’s Bootcamp, it positioned the studio within a luxury lifestyle circuit - a subtle form of map illustration for beauty studio marketing.

Custom map illustration for a boutique hotel welcome pack, helping guests navigate the local area with branded, keepsake-quality print

Custom Map Artwork for a Boutique Hotel Group in Sri Lanka

I created this bespoke local area map for Teardrop Hotels’ flagship Galle Fort property - first as a framed piece of custom hotel map art, then adapted as a takeaway print for guests. A copy was included in the welcome pack of each room, giving visitors a beautiful and practical way to explore the surrounding neighbourhood.

Designed to reflect the charm of the hotel’s setting, this map illustration for boutique hotel groups gently reinforces brand presence while offering something guests can use. A good reminder that interior artwork can do double duty, especially in hospitality settings where print has lasting value.
