The design team remodeled the 1960’s Mediterranean beach hub’s interiors creating a serene escape injected with premium furnishings to elevate the hotel stay experience. A project that was full of challenges and complexities also proved to be one of H2R Design’s most rewarding assignments.

The resort and residences feature 190 rooms including luxury chalets, 7 suites and 2 presidential villas. It is a pearl in the Egyptian northern coast seaside, and throughout its 50-year history, has been frequented by celebrities, artists and bohemians.

H2R Design was insistent on keeping the cultural context and heritage in their design strategy, however they wanted to rejuvenate and create a modern boho-chic style while integrating the surrounding seaside environment into the nature of the property. The design theme for the project was a Retro Refurbishment including contemporary interiors, which paid subtle tributes to the glory days of when the resort first opened. H2R Design combined vintage styles conjuring the sense of nostalgia to the golden age of Egyptian music and cinema and added references to the famous guests the hotel has hosted.

In order to successfully achieve a blend of vintage charm and contemporary elegance, H2R Design used a lot of natural white washed timber, light and breezy elements reflecting the coastal region, fabrics and upholstery suitable for the beach environment. The colours were meticulously selected to compliment the natural landscape (muted blues, light greys, off whites and accents of deep blue to reflect the everchanging colour of the sea. Metal was also used as an accent, adding elegance to the joinery, furniture elements and lighting, which played an integral role in illuminating the spaces.
