W Hotel

Interior Design Studio VI
Fall 2023

Project Information:

This project will involve designing the lobby, administrative offices, restaurant, and guest suite for W Hotels in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). The luxurious hotel should be designed based on its brand and values while adhering to the location. Other design choices that should be considered are design trends, design theories, historical precedents, contextual needs, sustainability, biophilia, etc.

Design Statement

W Hotels combines diverse cultures and vibrant energy in its design. The hotel draws inspiration from the location, challenging preconceived notions. A calming turquoise hue creates a relaxing atmosphere upon arrival, while a lively burgundy adds a playful touch, adhering to the brand’s aesthetic. The design balances solid and natural textures, emphasizing luxury through flooring, columns, and ceilings. Biophilia is integrated into the project with tropical plants, natural light, and materials for well-being and connection to the surroundings.
