El Director Hotel
The El Director Boutique Hotel sits in the urban part of Santiago, Chile. A design that stays true to the prominent resources local to Chile, copper balances the delicate complexity of embrace and reflection throughout its property. With copper as Chile's finest mineral, its unique color gave powerful inspiration to the design's texture. The combination of airy space, neutral tone porcelain tiles, and copper allow light to bounce off reflective surfaces, emitting a warm glow for a glamorous and affluent atmosphere, and sets the tone of exclusivity and modernity. Within, Olam Restaurant reveals an artistic organic design promoting its unique Scandinavian cuisine.
