Hospitality design parlance would refer to such a mishmash as ‘masculine’...and it works. The plaids, drab greens, and simplistic patterns are all deliberate, to try and lure the type of hotel guest that make pilgrimages to Wrigley..I mean, the whole hotel is basically there to primarily serve Cubs fans; whoever created the mood board for the interior palette may not get kudos for originality but they get bonus points for knowing how to target the right type of client: very slightly white-collar, suburban white male, late 30s/early 40s, obvs a huge Cubs fan, whose wife or girlfriend surprises them with a weekend getaway package to a nice-looking hotel directly across the street from their ‘Mecca’.
