PF Emirates Interiors has announced the completion of the refurbishment of Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi’s lobby and the lounge, providing an enhanced sense of arrival to guests.
The reception area has been enhanced to provide more space, offering separate welcome desks to allow more personal interactions with guests, while the adjacent lounge is now centralised and the architectural language creates a more interactive ambiance, said Evelyn Fujimoto, design director at PF Emirates.
The lounge will feature an original piece of art designed by André C. Meyerhans, a Swiss born and Dubai based artist. Meyerhans used his rich background in structural engineering and architecture to create the 700 stainless steel “3d Tiles”, which sits diagonally in individual cuboid units.
The design firm introduced key design elements consistent with the spirit of the Viceroy Hotel Group’s signature properties, said Fujimoto.
A dropped ceiling at the entrance leads to a St. Laurent marble feature wall, beyond which lies a rich and elegant library.
A dedicated gilt and wood reception provides more personal client interaction, with a lacquered and marble open plan coffee and juice bar.
Curated furniture selections include design classics such as Cappellini’s “Proust” armchair, and Poltrona Frau’s “Regina” armchair in the lounge areas, along with their iconic “1919” armchair in the library.”
