The artistically designed sleepwear is all about relationship and creating memories
Hôtel Swexan, the Dallas based charming hotel whose tagline “Swiss hospitality meets Texan charm” has partnered with luxury print designer Katie Kime, to create a bespoke print of pajamas. And the kicker is that guests can take home a pair of the pajamas, something to cement their experience of their hotel stay.
“The collaboration was inspired by a shared appreciation for bold design, storytelling through prints, and a deep connection to Texas,” Julian Payne, the hotel’s general manager tells Seele. “Both brands embrace an unexpected, and maximalist aesthetic, while feeling fresh and modern. With Hôtel Swexan’s sophisticated yet playful approach to hospitality and Katie Kime’s iconic, narrative-driven designs, the partnership felt like a natural fit.”
And while the hotel loves Katie’s work and trust her artistic expressions, they had their own input on the print. “We absolutely loved Katie’s signature Dallas toile, but we wanted to incorporate elements that made it uniquely Hôtel Swexan. To put our mark on the design, we worked with Katie to integrate our signature monogram “S” icon alongside the well-known Dallas landmarks featured in the print. Additionally, we customized the colorway to include our signature navy, ensuring the pajamas felt like an extension of the hotel’s aesthetic,” say Julian.

Katie’s work is known for transporting people to iconic cities and coasts around the world. “We’re a modern-day print house with vibrant designs that make everyday moments feel a bit more special,” Katie tells Seele. “My goal for the brand is to elevate and brighten your at-home life, so whether you’re looking to refresh your space with wallpaper, elevate your sleep game with the softest sleepwear, or update your closet with our fresh take on everyday ready-to-wear pieces, head to KatieKime.com to check our full range of products in happy colors and bold prints.”

“For this partnership, the Dallas Toile features carefully chosen elements that authentically represent the city, with specific icons selected by Miron Crosby’s co-founders, who are proud locals. When Hotel Swexan approached us for a collaboration, we were excited to incorporate their stunning property into the design,” says Katie.
The hotel has guests that just arrive for a sleepcation, and because of this new print they can now book the Ultimate Cozy Night In package, something they are calling “a truly over-the-top experience for a girls’ weekend. “Guests often check in to reset and recharge, whether that be by enjoying our state-of-the-art fitness center, relaxing rooftop pool, comfortable accommodations, etc,” says Julian. With this package two side-by-side suite are connected, women get a pair of the pajamas, a fully customized movie night with a film of choice, a well-stocked candy selection, classic cinema snacks from popcorn, to pizza, and more. There’s even milkshakes and fries, as well as cocktails and sodas. It’s all about an unforgettable experience and making memories.
For Katie, it’s a partnership she knew she didn’t want to pass up. “Hotel Swexan shares our commitment to thoughtful, elevated design and exceptional experiences—values we bring to our Katie Kime customers through bold art, vibrant color, and distinctive print. As an Austin-based brand, Texas holds a special place in our hearts, so partnering with a fellow Texas institution felt like a natural fit.”
