Candlewood Suites - Lodi

The Candlewood Suites Lodi was designed as a smart, efficient, and welcoming extended-stay hotel that speaks to both the traveler’s needs and the regional context of Lodi’s wine country charm. From an architectural perspective, the project balances functionality with clean, contemporary lines, offering a straightforward yet refined visual identity. The three-story structure was planned with a warm, neutral material palette and subtle detailing to reflect the surrounding landscape, creating a comfortable and professional presence that complements the city’s evolving hospitality scene.

Interior spaces were thoughtfully laid out to prioritize long-term guest comfort, with generous suite layouts, in-room kitchens, and a host of amenities tailored to business and leisure travelers alike. The public areas—such as the Candlewood Cupboard, fitness center, and communal workspace—were integrated into the floor plan to enhance flow and ease of use, while still allowing for natural light and openness throughout. Every square foot was designed with purpose, aligning with IHG’s standards while tailoring the experience to the Lodi market.

The site design also emphasized accessibility, safety, and ease of circulation, with ample parking, defined pedestrian paths, and smart landscaping that required minimal maintenance. While the architectural expression remains grounded in practicality, it is elevated by careful material selection, cohesive detailing, and a clear understanding of what extended-stay travelers value most. The Candlewood Suites Lodi was crafted to provide not just a place to stay, but a place to settle in—a home base that blends comfort, efficiency, and quiet style.
