Hospitality Design: What I've Learned

Sarah Klymson and Simon Marxer, Hyatt


Listen Later

As senior leaders shaping the future of Hyatt's wellness-focused brand Miraval, Sarah Klymson and Simon Marxer bring complementary expertise to the table: Klymson is a trained architect and global design strategist, while Marxer is a veteran spa and wellbeing innovator with roots at Canyon Ranch and Red Flower.

Since Hyatt’s acquisition of Miraval in 2017, the duo has worked together to evolve the brand while honoring its original mission to empower guests to cultivate balance, mindfulness, and purpose.

Klymson’s design leadership has been instrumental in translating Miraval’s ethos into spaces that promote reflection, community, and comfort. Marxer, meanwhile, ensures that programming—from digital detoxing to equine therapy—remains immersive and emotionally resonant.

Together, they’re ushering Miraval into its next chapter, which includes the upcoming Red Sea resort, the brand’s first international outpost. As they expand globally, Klymson and Marxer are committed to scaling not just a brand, but also an intention—one that prioritizes authenticity, self-discovery, and wellbeing in every guest interaction.
