OLD HEIDELBERG BAR + RESTAURANT

As part of the comprehensive restoration of the historic Graduate Hotel in New Haven, GKV Architects led the renovation of the iconic Old Heidelberg Restaurant & Bar, a beloved Chapel Street destination with deep ties to the Yale and New Haven communities. The design carefully balanced historic preservation with modern hospitality, restoring the venue's distinctive character while integrating contemporary building systems, lighting, and finishes to support its renewed role as a vibrant gathering place. As Architect in Charge, GKV coordinated all architectural, interior design, and engineering disciplines to help reestablish Old Heidelberg as one of the hotel's signature amenities and a celebrated local landmark.
