Twelve hotel rooms in warm stone and walnut, designed for a good night's sleep.
The brief
A small hotel near the Retiro asked us to rethink its twelve rooms after a decade of heavy use. Guests praised the location and complained about the sleep.
We started with the bed and the dark: blackout layers, quieter doors, light that dims at the bedside and fewer things to look at when the lamps go out.
Materials and finish
Walnut slats, travertine and soft wool rugs. The slats hide the wiring and soften the sound between rooms.
Each room has the same plan and its own artwork, so housekeeping stays simple and no two stays feel the same.
