Project Name: Eva Khoury
Location: Tuscany, Italy
Interior Designer: Eva Khoury
Hotel Group/Developer: Riva del Sole Resort & Spa

The restructuring and redesign of Riva del Sole Resort & Spa was undertaken by Eva Khoury along with a local team. The property itself is a large project, and so continues to have an ongoing renovation, with the current upgrades having taken places within a 6 month period of seasonal closure.

The boutique hotel is a 60 year old property that is focussing on a having a prevailing sense of ‘Made in Italy’ throughout its restructuring. Eva Khoury is the designer on the project, working with a local team that provides her with the best handcrafted components to her design vision of comfortable, nature-influenced luxury. The entire project has been designed by Eva, covering the interiors of the suites, conference centre, and restaurants. Though a large scale project, attention is given to the finest details. Each piece of furniture, each door, bed and the marble sinks were designed by Eva and crafted by the artisans working with her.

Eva Khoury’s strength in her hospitality design is through the adaptability of the interiors. The design for Riva del Sole is adaptable, appealing to all guests at the resort. The hotel holds its distinctiveness whilst still respecting all safety regulations and unaffecting it’s practicality of welcoming a wide range of guests. Though Eva’s designs are always unique, the interiors for this project in particular centres on reflecting it’s outside environment. Ensuring that guests do not feel trapped or enclosed within the hotel, the designer wanted to give the impression of being outside with a connection to nature. It’s this creative twist that makes Riva del Sole unlike any other hotel.
