PHASE 2: HALL, LOUNGE BAR AND TERRACE

In this second phase, we renovated the entrance hall with the reception, lounge bar, and terrace on the ground floor. The reception and hall were conceived as an open and welcoming space, where the design focuses on the integration of walls and furniture through panels, slats, and rectilinear volumes. Upon entering the hall, a dividing wall made of vertical oak slats separates the bar area and guides visitors to the reception, framing a spectacular sea view at the center.

The bar is designed to adapt to the hotel’s various activities, such as meetings, events, performances, and more, offering a flexible and versatile space. Its open layout, with mobile furniture, allows for different configurations depending on needs. Additionally, there are resting areas with sofas for reading and areas with tables for the bar. The last section before the facade is presented as a natural extension of the terrace. Here, the same IPE flooring is used, ideal for maximizing the use of the space during the summer. To achieve this, frameless and profile-free glass folding doors have been installed, allowing the facade to be fully opened and creating a semi-outdoor space that functions both as a bar and to extend the terrace, achieving a large covered porch effect.

The terrace establishes a direct visual connection with the beach and the sea. The existing stainless steel railing has been replaced with a new glass one, without posts, which accentuates this connection. Lastly, fixed planters have been installed, with various plants that help provide privacy from the pool and define different areas of the terrace.

PHASE 1: LES ALGUES CHILL & DRINKS

In the first phase, the project aimed to transform and revitalize the space on the first floor of the Hotel Maritim, giving it new life as a tapas and drinks bar. Located on the seafront of the promenade in Roses, a town with a rich fishing tradition, the main challenge was to imprint the space with a Mediterranean and contemporary character that harmoniously integrates with its surroundings.

Originally, the space had a small outdoor terrace, 3 meters wide, and a closed indoor area, divided by a line of sliding doors. The key to the design was removing this separation, treating it all as a single covered outdoor space. To achieve this, See Glass curtains, sliding and folding, were installed at the facade’s edge. These curtains visually and physically unify the interior with the exterior, creating a fluid and uninterrupted connection with the promenade, the beach, and the sea.

This solution offers the flexibility to enjoy a large covered outdoor space, which can be fully open during the warmer months or closed to protect against wind and bad weather.

Various areas were designed to offer more intimate and cozy environments. The first, next to the main bar, features several additional bars and a high counter facing the large east-facing window, with views of Roses, ideal for enjoying drinks. Then, the chillout area, equipped with two large U-shaped sofas facing the sea, invites relaxation. Finally, the remaining tables are distributed among planters that not only integrate the structural pillars but also zone the space, offering more privacy in such an open environment.
