A hotel lobby reimagined through the surreal lens of Alice in Wonderland. Oversized flora, gold-accented columns, and bold spatial contrasts invite guests into a magical, story-rich environment.
The entrance itself feels like stepping into a dream. Whimsical proportions distort perspective—towering flower sculptures sway under chandeliers, their petals gleaming with intricate gold filigree. The furniture plays with scale, some pieces deliberately oversized, others intriguingly miniature, as though the world itself has shifted dimensions.
Rich jewel tones define the space, from deep sapphire walls to emerald velvet lounges, punctuated by surreal lighting that casts playful shadows. Staircases seem to twist impossibly, leading guests on a journey through unexpected nooks and secret alcoves.
This space is more than a lobby—it’s an experience. Inspired by storytelling, it invites guests not just to arrive, but to wander, to wonder, and to lose themselves in a place where reality bends into imagination.
