  A space where we leave the distractions and chatter of the everyday world behind were and are able to embrace and enhance our ability to connect to the energy source that is within ourselves and always available in the universe. It should be able to house one to four individuals and feel enveloping at any occupancy. All senses should be touched and activated to best open all of ones senses to best facilitate connection. Designed by an architect Luis Pons, the Chapel offers relaxed interior for one to four people and is pre-programmed by the facilitator to support users’ individual needs during daily visits. Upon entering, users participate a period of meditation, during which the chapel’s integrated lighting, sound, and aroma therapeutic scent systems are set to create a calming environment. Meditation is followed by activation of the teleconferencing mode, during which users engage in a dialogue with a energy expert via the Chapel’s Internet connected state-of-the-art communications system. Sessions close with the Chapel returning once again to a meditation atmosphere for a period of time. When users leave the Chapel low-level lighting gently illuminates the interior until the next session begins. The chapel’s organic shape is a symbol of life itself. Like a cocoon, it is place of peace and protection where birth, rebirth, renewal, and growth can occur. Just as a caterpillar retreats into its silken cocoon, where, through metamorphosis, it becomes a butterfly, the user retreat to the peaceful, comforting interior of the Chapel for daily contemplation which facilitates each visitors personal transformation. The Chapel is an 15’ x 12’ x 8’ structure fabricated from 61 elliptical panels crafted from translucent white fabric that was custom designed, creating a soft oval interior space. This floor of the Chapel is an oval platform made of acrylic light cast cotton

- An spontaneous gesture of courtesy while welcome a guest is to remove the hat off your head. A hat is an iconic piece that is associated to the outdoors; it offers protection to the head as the roofs provide shelter to a house. A panama hat represents elegant, sophistication, lightness, flexibility, exquisite craftsmanship and beauty. A Panama hat is a perfect integration of form and function. The Sun has become the core of the tropical design over history. The way we have to reflect this concept in our daily clothing is by using a hat that provides us with the necessary sun protection. In our case the Panama hat inspires the quality of the experience we will like to pursue and reflects the values of the design.

The design of the hotel translates colonial style by searching lightness and comfort, preserving the sense of memory and traditional craftsmanship. Lightness and comfort define the journey of the smart, sophisticated and adventures traveler.

The furniture has been design as a system of assembly in which the two main components can be change and adapt according to the rooms needs. The base – a classic slick metal platform – holds a series of cabinets and drawers – made out of wood and Panama hat weave - to provide the hotel with a line of furniture that will treasure the journey. In the style of Neo colonial furniture the pieces recreate the image of traveling vintage trunks over a old and slick wood base. The bases are made out of metal to be perceived as light as possible and the cabinets of wood and cover with Panama hat weave.
