Hotel Santiago, part of Hilton's Curio Collection, opened its doors in December 2024, offering a sophisticated and eco-conscious retreat in the heart of Santiago de los Caballeros. With 177 thoughtfully designed guest rooms, the hotel blends contemporary comforts with local cultural elements, providing a unique experience for its guests.
Scope of Work:
Our collaboration encompassed the design and manufacturing of custom furniture for various areas within the hotel, including:
Guest Rooms
VIP Lounge
Public Spaces
In total, we produced over 1,000 pieces of bespoke furniture, each crafted to enhance the hotel's modern aesthetic while reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the region.
Design Concept:
The design philosophy for Hotel Santiago revolves around creating a serene and inviting atmosphere that resonates with the local culture. Inspired by the traditional "casona" (mansion) architecture of Santiago, the interiors feature a harmonious blend of modern design elements and handcrafted details. Natural materials, neutral tones, and minimalist forms are employed to evoke a sense of tranquility and connection to the surrounding environment.
Materials & Craftsmanship:
Our commitment to quality and sustainability is evident in the materials and craftsmanship of the furniture pieces:
Materials:
Premium-grade plywood and solid wood
High-density foam cushions for comfort
Recyclable metals and eco-friendly finishes
Craftsmanship:
Precision machining using advanced equipment from the Netherlands, Germany, and Italy
Adherence to IS14001 environmental standards and ISO9001 quality management systems
Detailed handcrafting of decorative elements to add a personal touch
Sustainability Initiatives:
In line with the hotel's LEED certification goals, we implemented several sustainable practices throughout the manufacturing process:
Utilization of E1 grade plywood to ensure low formaldehyde emissions
Employment of catalytic combustion systems to minimize emissions during production
Use of non-toxic paints and finishes to promote indoor air quality
Our collaboration with Hotel Santiago exemplifies our dedication to creating luxury hotel furniture that is both aesthetically pleasing and environmentally responsible. Each piece of furniture serves as a testament to our commitment to quality, sustainability, and the rich cultural heritage of the Dominican Republic.
