“After several discussions and interviews with the Comanche Nation Board of Directors and part of our own research of history, we formulated a plan to create a space that resonated between the guests and the culture,” Wyman said. Other key players in the project were architects Jim Lohmeyer and Larry Parke of Hood-Rich Architecture based in Springfield, MO Crossland Construction as the contractor Purchasing Management International for FF&E and OS&E and Chas Robbins, director of gaming, as the point person for the client.

MatchLine was brought on prior to the groundbreaking and provided interior design services for the new-build. This is represented in the customized carpet patterns, acrylic registration pendant, fabrics and accent resin ceiling panels at the elevator lobby.” “We used their flag and regalia as the springboard to our design for the color palette of deep blue, gold and crimson red. We made sure to incorporate the symbolism of the Comanche Nation in details throughout,” said Lesley Hughes Wyman, principal and partner, MatchLine Design Group. “A nod to the history of the Comanche was imperative, but they did not want the design to be so saturated with historical design details that it seemed like a museum.

Native American culture played a significant role in the overall design, with cultural imagery incorporated into elements throughout the property.

Situated on the Comanche reservation here, the new-construction hotel and adjacent casino is owned and run by the Comanche Nation Board of Directors.
