Santiago Hotel Cooking & Nature

Architecture Aires Mateus

Architecture Aires Mateus

Comprising two buildings constructed in 1969 and 2008, the hotel is a showcase of aesthetics from different architectural eras.

Geometric minimalism is painted white to reduce heat absorption and to help integrate the structure into its surroundings. Inside, rich woods and stone complement monochrome floor patterns and accents of seafoam green and dark blue, while wicker chairs and black iron combine to create a textural variety that contrasts the hotel’s exterior.

Interior design Pureza Magalhães

A culinary concept manifests itself through ubiquitous kitchen utensils, black-and-white tiles, and wood furnishings...

that seem plucked straight from a farmhouse pantry. Guests are welcomed into an open-plan communal area that diffuses the boundaries between the restaurant, bar, reception, and lobby, and features such design elements as an olive tree and hanging kitchen utensils.
