Minimal porosity to promote hygiene

One of the most challenging aspects of a hotel guest’s experience is the bathroom, an intimate personal grooming space where cleanliness and hygiene must be a priority. This was one of the project requirements that Silestone solved thanks to its reduced porosity, thus making the cleaning and disinfecting process of a highly used surface area such as the washbasin easier.

Botrygg AB aimed to create functional and resistant spaces in a stylish way. Silestone in Negro Tebas, with a polished finish, brings a very unique sense of sophistication to the whole bathroom, offering a range of contrasts in an environment where colours that are very similar to each other usually merge.

A centuries-old hotel embraces modern times

In August 2019, the restoration of the First Reisen hotel in Stockholm began. As well as refreshing the communal areas, the project included updating the 140 bedrooms and their en-suite bathrooms. Modernising the installations of this 17th century hotel, without making the least impact on its classical flavour and style, was a big challenge. Eye Interior and Multi Montage were the main players in this huge job, using trusted partners such as Silestone by Cosentino on the vanity tops of all the bathrooms.

The First Reisen is strategically located in central Stockholm, with views over Lake Malar and the Old Town, and a stone’s throw from the Royal Palace. The hotel is a kind of time capsule: seven different buildings, dating from the 17th century to the early 20th century, have been converted into one. It is named after its first owner, the Dutch businessman Fredrik Reiss, who in 1750 opened a coffee house, called Reisen, where the hotel is situated today.

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.
