W Hotel / BBG-BBGM

Conceived as an urban oasis, the new guestrooms of the W Hotel designed by BBG-BBGM offer a respite from the chaos of the city by immersing the guest in soothing colors and textures inspired by nature. Curving, organic shapes complement modern angles while crisp white is softened with tones from the forest and earth.

A sleek, adult version of an idyllic childhood tree house, the bed is wrapped in exotic zebrawood and creates the focal point of the newly designed guestroom. The wood’s rich coffee color and dramatic grain pattern create a warm cocoon that encourages relaxation, reading or reminiscence. The custom-designed headboard incorporates a backlit, artfully abstract photo that can be interpreted as the silhouette of undulating hills or the curves of a beautiful human body. Whichever image the guest perceives, the photo creates a peaceful yet playful contemplation. Painted a sumptuous aubergine, the ceiling caps the canopy bed with warm, saturated color.
