The Hotel Silken Puerta América Madrid is an idea of freedom come true, a gathering space merging different cultures and ways of interpreting architecture and design. A masterpiece that awakens guests’ senses, that breaks the mould by using different colours, materials and shapes. A 5 Star Luxury Hotel that ushers guests into innovative spaces, a bold departure from the usual.
Commissioned by Spanish company Silken Hotels, 19 prominent architects and designers, some working individually and others in pairs, were provided with an outlet to explore their creativity without budgetary constraints. (The final cost of the 342-room hotel was over $90 million.) The result is a series of elaborately designed spaces; so different in their styles that one design magazine referred to the hotel as an 'interior-design theme park.
Any evaluation of the individual designs is clouded by larger, more serious issues raised by this project, everything from the selection of the location-a nondescript area of Madrid at the city's periphery, not its center-to the role of a hotel and the experience provided to its guests. The project concept was 'to create a hotel that was unique, merging different ways of seeing architecture, design, and art.' And in that sense, Puerta America is a success, creating an eclectic sensory experience both calming and disruptive as guests move between spaces and styles. The work of the architects, designers, and landscape architects involved in the project follows either a luxurious, modern aesthetic or a hi-tech futuristic design typology.Using digital manufacturing and design, the organic curves produces a room unseparable by a ceiling, walls, or edges so that nothing has ever looked .

Fantasztikus belső design-al megtervezett Hotel épült fel még 2006 ban Madridban ahol a világ 19 top építésze - belsőépítésze engedte el fantáziáját , azért hogy szintenként vagy akár szobánként, teljesen új megfogalmazású fantasztikus enteriőr fogadja az ott megszálló vendéget. Szédületes , és futurisztikus terek ill. formák, soha nem láttam ennyi ötletet és művészeti megfogalmazást egy helyen.
