Bright colours, combined with earthy tones, balance an intriguing yet sophisticated palette that invites our guests to explore and relate to. Adapting to today’s needs and ever evolving lifestyle, the once non negotiable reception desk, has now been replaced by a versatile and vibrant bar/ reception area where one can check in and out without the unnecessary formalities of past hospitality habits. The lobby area has been divided in 4 main zones, the entry/ lounge/ retail area, followed by a lively entertainment zone with pool table and interactive media surrounded by the main food and beverage space that is spatially transitioned from one side to the other. The kitchen and preparation zone is now directly connected to a buffet area that can however be entirely hidden when the guests wish to enjoy a more relaxed lounge use of the space. The basement wellness and fitness area has also been transformed in order to echo the design ethos of the rest of the public areas. The material palette is once again a mixture of vibrant and earthy tones that wrap around the surfaces from floor to ceiling. Bespoke joinery and playful art are just a few of the design elements that discreetly elevate a very user centered space.
