The menu features inventive smallplates and a broader selection of hearty entrées, designed to provide families and extended-stay businesstravelers with fresh options worth coming back for.

Originally opened in 2020 as Origin Raleigh, a Wyndham Hotel, this 126-guest room property boasts its own meeting and event spaces, fitness facility, and full-service restaurant and bar, Good Day Good Night. The standout hotel is conveniently situated at the intersection of the downtown Warehouse and Glenwood South Districts, a short walk from the convention center and the best entertainment Raleigh has to offer. In recent years, the Warehouse District has been reborn as a center for arts and culture, while Glenwood South has become a popular hotspot amongst an exploding population of young professionals. Together, these neighborhoods have become well-known for their diverse mix of art venues and galleries, the city’s best restaurants, breweries and nightlife, a high concentration of co-working spaces and innovative businesses, and a rapidly growing residential base. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the shift in consumer demands that resulted, hotel ownership saw an opportunity to better distinguish itself through a distinct, local narrative and fresh approach to travel. In joining Marriott’s Tribute Portfolio of boutique hotels, they planned to attract the independent thinker in search of a destination that would illuminate the Raleighite way of life.

Tasked with breathing new life into the Pennywell Hotel’s food and beverage outlet, the Green Olive team setout on an extensive site visit to the property and the surrounding St. Louis area. From this research, a brandnarrative was crafted that would provide the road-map for all brand touchpoints. While a logo had alreadybeen designed for the Pennydrop, our team recognized the opportunity to honor time and place, by leaningeven further into the aesthetic nature of the building’s history as a bank in the late 1800s. Recallinghandwritten ledgers, graphics on vintage safes, and the vernacular of American currency, we designed newcollateral pieces and menus to reflect this approach. Leaning heavily on color, typography, line-work andpatterns of the late 19th century provided a foundation to hit the right notes. Connecting the space moredeeply with the city, our team also provided a number of curated playlists. Featuring some of St. Louis’ mostfamous musicians, but focusing on lesser-known artists, the playlists were another way for Pennydrop to tieitself to the city and its culture. The considered, historical appearance of our design approach coupled withour recommendations for unique programming and environment allow guests to immerse themselves in bothpast and present of the city, and experience a deeper understanding of its signature take on hospitality.

With an aggressive timeline in place, Green Olive Media was engaged to help steer and execute this transition. Selected for our extensive hotel, restaurant and bar experience, we brought a keen understanding of both the hospitality industry and the Raleigh market to the table. Our first task was to immerse ourselves in the brand architecture, developing a comprehensive document outlining long-term strategy. In communicating exactly what hotel is and isn’t, we defined its objectives, goals and values while paying close attention to Raleigh’s competitive landscape, equipping ownership and management teams with the tools to articulate the brand direction, purpose and positioning as clearly as possible. Once those parameters were established, we explored a name for the hotel, providing the foundation for a thoughtful backstory capitalizing upon the city’s rich history and legacy. Logo design — supported by a system of designed touchpoints ranging from signage to in-room collateral and sales materials — soon followed, ensuring a visual solution befitting the hotel’s stylishly bold interiors.
