Since forming in Ontario in 2010, Saplys Architects Inc. has grown into industry leaders in the design, planning and development of hotels across Canada and the United States. They have earned that distinction because of their holistic approach, which is always clear from the start: guide clients through every stage of the process, from initial design concepts to construction and final handover, ensuring that each project reflects both operational efficiency and memorable guest experiences. Saplys Architects stands out from other architects in the hospitality sector from their ability to not only design hotels, but to provide clients with endto-end value-added services, based on the firm’s principals – Linas Saplys, SAI founder and CEO, and Vito Picicci, SAI President, having over 40 years of experience on brand and site selection, site evaluation, Interior Design, budgeting, financing assistance, and procurement. To this end, Saplys Architects Inc. is part of a group of companies that include API Development Consultants inc., API Design Studio Inc., Fabiani Architects Ltd., and VP Studio Architects Inc. “Hotels are about creating experiences, not just buildings,” says Darius Saplys, a partner in the company and leading the procurement side “Our role is to bring every element together so that the finished product is something guests can truly enjoy. Every project has its challenges; our strength is in being able to provide unique and tailored solutions. That is what clients remember.” In his early career in hospitality, Darius managed and operated golf courses throughout the Greater Toronto Area, including a stint at the Four Seasons as an operations manager.
