Van Acre provides a destination dining experience for locals and a first-rate amenity for hotel guests of Hilton Garden Inn Wausau. The owners of this award winning hotel were inspired by the dining experiences found in boutique hotels during their travels and sought Three Sixty to elevate their corporate-styled space into something special. Wausau’s rich history of outdoor leisure and lumber industries inform the bold Van Acre brand that seeks to connect guests with its grounded yet generous hospitality. The existing layout positions a bar and lounge on one side and a live-fire kitchen and dining area on the other side of a thoroughfare from the hotel lobby to the conference halls and restrooms. The two spaces become a cohesive whole offering a variety of dining styles: intimate booths, flexible banquettes, interactive communal tables, cocktail lounge, and a private fireside dining room. The interior is rich with elegant lighting, jewel tone colors, and varied textures where rustic meets luxurious.
