A hotel from which to explore America’s capital

The Marriott hotel chain offers hundreds of places to stay all over the world, providing travellers with all the comforts of home within a prestigious, well-located property. With this philosophy in mind, the team behind the W Washington Hotel in the U.S. capital decided to fully renovate all the bathrooms of the hotel’s rooms and suites. Their aim was to create an elegant atmosphere and a cosy, inviting experience. The stunning furnishings, coupled with the use of Dekton and Silestone have made this possible.

Eternal Calacatta Gold for a luxury interior design

“The design is closely related with the hotel’s environmental context. The look of the building and its interiors is clearly inspired by the sea – the spaces are dominated by rounded, wavy shapes and natural colors of earth and marine flora. These consistent yet intriguing forms, colors and textures used across the entire property create a feeling of comfort and allow for a multidimensional perception of spaces.” – mentions Łukasz Pisarek, Chief Architect of Zdrojowa Invest.

Decorated with highest attention to details, Hilton Resort & SPA represents a perfect place for those who enjoy a moment of relaxation while surrounded by art and world class design. In order to ensure a feeling of luxury and highest quality, multiple surfaces in the hotel have been embellished by Silestone by Cosentino quartz conglomerate in one of its most elegant patterns – Eternal Calacatta Gold. Almost 700 m2 have been covered with this material, which, used in a wide variety of applications and combined with graceful textures and warm tones of wood, created a blend of ultra-stylish interiors across the entire building.

Aura and Kelya, the colours used in this renovation

The building’s new façade is where Dekton really makes a big impact, featuring the Aura (1,300 m2) and Kelya (2,500 m2) colours. The Dekton panels in 140 cm x 12 cm and 85 cm x 120 cm formats have been installed using the Fischer Anchor fixing system and in total cover an area of 3,800 m2.

Trans Globe, the company that owns the hotel, fell in love with the Dekton Aura aesthetic and how similar it is to Carrara marble. Dekton Kelya was chosen in order to provide a perfect contrast with Dekton Aura and with the rest of the façade’s design, to create an elegant overall aesthetic. Dekton’s natural characteristics, advanced technology, easy maintenance and sustainable features were key elements in the development of the project.

The perfect textures of Silestone and Dekton for a natural ambient

Most of the materials that were used are pure: wood, steel and glass. In order to be able to meet the high sustainability requirements, the starting point was circularity. In other words, the recovery and reuse of materials. Also for the finishing touches, virtually no materials were used that have a short lifespan or are not recyclable. In Dekton and Silestone SeARCH found the ideal solution for the materials in the kitchen, restaurant and bakery of Hotel Jakarta.

In the kitchen, Dekton Kelya and Dekton Aura are applied as kitchen countertops. In the restaurant, the bar and all the bar tables are in Silestone Coral Clay and in the bakery, the bar is made of Dekton Tundra Xgloss. The extremely strong sheets with natural stone look not only fit perfectly into the natural character of the hotel, but are also extremely durable and resistant to stains, scratches, bumps and extreme (weather) conditions.
