Ambiance
The bar area features dimmable, frosted globe light fixtures that create a soothing, intimate atmosphere for enjoying cocktails. A mix of brushed and matte finishes on the fixtures adds a natural yet upscale touch, enhancing the sophisticated vibe.
Comfort
Guest rooms are designed to offer a ‘home away from home’ experience, with contemporary abstract accents and modern technology. Clean lines, linen-textured fabrics and tailored wallcoverings evoke the pattern of a finely crafted suit, a subtle nod to the business professionals who frequent the hotel.
Dramatic
The two-story atrium is a focal point of the hotel, featuring a delicate, multi-dimensional globe chandelier that contrasts beautifully with the straight vertical lines of plaid wainscoting. This combination creates an eye-catching interplay between soft and structured elements.
Dynamic
In the event spaces, pentagon-shaped light fixtures bring a balance of curves and angles, while diagonal tiles and gradient carpets add visual interest. These elements infuse the rooms with style and color, without overpowering the flexible and versatile nature of the space.
