SALT: Seamlessly Blending Sea and Design at W Barcelona Hotel
Project's Summary
SALT, the newest addition to the W Barcelona hotel, is a stunning event's restaurant project that seamlessly blends the beauty of the sea with modern design. Created by the renowned ISABELLOPEZVILALTA+ASSOCIATES architectural studio, this space encompasses three distinct yet interconnected features: a terrace with a restaurant and lounge, a dedicated area for corporate and private events, and a beach club with direct access to the sea.
Drawing inspiration from the reflections and textures of the surrounding sea, SALT incorporates elements from the hotel's W Living Room design concept. The interior design exudes a fresh and modern vibe, with a touch of sophistication and glamour. The space reflects the W brand's commitment to innovation and the future.
One of the most remarkable aspects of SALT is the seamless transition between the indoor and outdoor spaces. The colors and reflections, bathed in the Mediterranean light, create a sense of continuity and blur the boundaries between the two. With stunning views of the Sant SebastiĆ beach and La Barceloneta, guests can enjoy the feeling of being outdoors no matter where they are seated in SALT.
The terrace, spanning 150 square meters, and the events' area, covering almost 500 square meters, are connected by a staircase leading to the hotel's foyer. This area, which also features a terrace, can be accessed directly from the seafront promenade. The combination of materials such as fine hardwoods, brass, iron sheeting, and specially textured glass evokes the beauty of plant and sea life, creating an ambiance filled with energy and creativity.
The lighting design in SALT is truly captivating. Continuous LED strips illuminate the restaurant and events' area, while a garland of lanterns creates a cloud of light over the bar on the terrace. The same festive lighting concept is extended to the SALT Beach Club, located just a few meters away from the terrace restaurant. With a capacity for over a hundred people, the beach club features armchairs reminiscent of a chill-out area, providing a perfect spot to relax by the sea.
Blues, turquoises, and the elegant contrast of black and white dominate the spaces, complementing the furniture in various shades of green with hints of gold and glitter that mimic the surface of the sea. Sculpted shapes, watery textures, and reflections create a harmonious connection with the outdoors, immersing visitors in the unique concept of the space.
In summary, SALT at the W Barcelona hotel is a remarkable event's restaurant project that seamlessly integrates the beauty of the sea with a modern and sophisticated design. Created by ISABELLOPEZVILALTA+ASSOCIATES, this space offers a fresh and vibrant atmosphere, with stunning views and a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor areas. The lighting design and choice of materials further enhance the ambiance, creating a truly avant-garde experience. SALT is a testament to the W brand's commitment to innovation and creating unforgettable spaces for guests to enjoy.
