What we designed

The whole hotel, space by space: the lobby, the club, the spa and its snow cabin, the treatment and massage cabins, the gym, the cinema, the restaurant, the gardens and pools, and every suite. With the furniture, the marble, the bronze, and the artwork of every wallpaper and rug.

Lobby with mosaic columns, palms and a polished stone floor — **Lobby** A double-height hall with a gold-leaf column, a marble reception desk and an inlaid stone floor.
