This project presented a unique scenario from the outset, as the client approached us with a construction already underway under a different brand, complete with all room materials purchased. However, the decision was made to transition it to an AC by Marriott. The challenge at hand was to adeptly formulate the hotel's design concept within the constraints of this existing situation while imbuing the project with the distinctive character synonymous with the AC brand.

Keeping this in mind, we crafted a design inspired by the simple geometric patterns found in Miraflores' urban layout and the topographical nuances of Inca architecture. The initial two floors underwent a comprehensive re-evaluation to align with the new concept. Additionally, the rooftop, originally featuring a swimming pool, was reconceptualized to house a boutique restaurant catering to 40 patrons, complete with an open kitchen.

In the guest rooms, we undertook a redesign of both furniture and bathrooms to impart an authentic AC identity, ensuring that each room maximized the stunning sea views offered by the building. An innovative approach was explored, introducing the concept of a semi-open bathroom where the closet serves as a distinctive separating element in the overall design.
