The scope
Complete renovation, completed in 2022, of a 700-room, 5-star city hotel in the business centre of Caracas, including design, fit-out works, MEP works, and all fixed and loose FF&E.
The approach
Delivered as a single, vertically integrated scope from design through installation, giving the owner one point of accountability for brand standard and delivery timeline. Neuroscience-informed design is embedded in every project Cocoplum Design Studio takes on, whether we hold the full brief or lead on FF&E.
What this means for your project
Hotel Alba is the clearest example of how Cocoplum Design Studio works on a full hotel renovation: one team responsible for the design intent, the fit-out, the services and every piece of furniture, so the owner is never arbitrating between a designer, a procurement agent and a contractor. The same model is available for Australian hotel refurbishments and repositionings. See our hospitality design and hotel refurbishment page, or start with a neuroarchitecture strategy brief.
