The new concept for Ibis Hotels is the winner of the Americas stage of a global contest organized by AccorHotels’ Design area to renovate ibis hotels, as part of the brand’s new flexible and personalized approach to turn its hotels into vibrant spaces.
In meeting AccorHotel’s needs for the ibis brand to offer experiences not only to guests, but also to its neighbors, the project focused on the renovation of common areas. The idea is to transform the entire ground floor of hotels into a unique environment, communicating with and permeating their surroundings. “The idea that guided this design was the creation of a dynamic, lively space, with bar and restaurants open to the city, not only to guests. To turn it into an almost-public space,”. The hotel lobby thus became an internal street of sorts, open to pedestrians, and the common areas are a community hub.
Daylight floods the lobby, breakfast/restaurant and Coffice areas. At night, the directional spots create a contemporary mood complemented by neon lights. Bar and sitting area located both inside and outside lobby, creating an inviting possibility to delight coffees, drinks and appetizers. Interior design presents its core related to the Multipurpose shelfs, the Linear Sofa, the Suspend Ceiling frames and the double level sitting stand designed especially for Ibis Plaza.
Both common areas and rooms will have a contemporary design, with an industrial touch, seen in metal plates, cement-based paint and exposed fixtures. The firm’s suggestion was to make rooms more user-friendly, with a modern and casual look.
For the bedrooms, the firm designed chairs, headboards and an open metal rack to replace the closet, creating a more flexible room that guests may use as they please. “The rack may be used to store objects, hang clothes, and even as a table for a quick meal,”.
Thinking about families and larger groups that choose to share a room, we developed bedrooms with 4 and 6 beds and an additional bathroom, as well as concept-rooms with double ceilings. The variety of layouts is a trending agenda in this new philosophy, instigating guest’s curiosity and contributing to new a level of hospitality.
This design was already implemented in Ibis São Paulo Morumbi’s bedrooms, Ibis São Paulo Expo’s lobby, and the first hotel with this new design is already under construction in Porto, Portugal.
