As hotel project design consultants, we aimed to seamlessly blend local and international elements within an existing architectural framework. We integrated interior design and franchise standards to achieve a confident and visually pleasing space. Inspired by Malta’s landscapes, our design featured soft arched geometries, tactile surfaces, ample upholstery, and a vibrant colour palette that harmonised with nature. The incorporation of prickly pear motifs, seen in carpet patterns, sculptures, and room number signage, served as a unifying icon. This approach satisfied tourism industry demands while preserving the hotel’s distinctive design language, successfully merging the strengths of local and international influences.
