The Westin Hotel by Marriott in Istanbul, Turkey is a new addition to the vibrant shopping district, boasting 150 spacious rooms designed by Hande Tözün Interior Design. The hotel’s interior design reflects a modern and balanced aesthetic inspired by nature, following the Biophilic Design Principles that establish a connection between the brand’s residential style and its focus on wellbeing.
The design concept is customized for the dynamic and multifaceted city of Istanbul, combining historical elements with nature. The color palette of the hotel’s interior reflects the symbolism of the sea and air, with blue tones of the sea and sky dissolving into a sandy earth color. The smooth veneer textures and clutter-free detailing of the joinery are coupled with organic-shaped furniture and objects. The biophilic ambiance is further enhanced by the use of light casting screens in the lobby and warm green moments, inviting guests to the restaurant area with a view of the all-day bar.
The project’s key aspect is the integration of local essence with nature, creating a soothing yet attractive ambiance. The Westin’s modern and balanced aesthetic, combined with local inspirations, creates a sense of place for guests to relax and rejuvenate. The biophilic and nature-respectful interior concept of the Westin Hotel in Istanbul is expected to influence other projects, as it showcases the importance of engaging local elements with nature.Marble workmanship and detailing are important in the reception and bar areas, while custom ceramic art designs are featured in the restaurant. Printed murals act as works of art in both public areas and guestrooms, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the hotel.
The Westin Hotel in Istanbul is a masterpiece of biophilic design, featuring a modern and balanced aesthetic. The hotel’s design is expected to inspire other projects to follow suit, highlighting the importance of creating a sense of place and wellbeing for guests.
