Trump Ocean Club to Introduce New Level of Hotel Design to Latin America
Trump Ocean Club, the striking $400 million oceanfront condominium developed by K-Group, premier real estate developer, has joined forces with the renowned HBA/Hirsch Bedner Associates to bring a new level of hotel design to Latin America.
The leader in hospitality interior design worldwide, HBA was selected from more than 10 companies to design all of the hotel components of Trump Ocean Club including 369 guestrooms and public spaces.
By infusing a modern tropical flare to both the guest rooms and public space of this world-class development, visitors and residents alike will enjoy an exclusive lifestyle unparallel to anything else in the region.
The Atlanta-based HBA team for Trump Ocean Club consists of five experts, including one designer based in Panama, and is led by 13-year veteran Betsy Hughes who serves as Project Manager.
“We are very excited about this project and the fantastic team behind it. Together with the architects and the hotel operator, Trump Organization, we are a very collaborative group that understands the vision and ultimate goals for this unique project,” states Hughes. “This will also be the first time that HBA works on a project in Latin America and we are very proud to enter the market together with the Trump brand.”
HBA has taken an architectural approach to all aspects of each guest room at Trump Ocean Club by incorporating a global vision, minimal appearance and free flowing open plan. Each unit will be inspired by a modern tropical feel, blended with quiet Panamanian accents.
The minimal focus will allow for clean space and by using a neutral palette, each unit will be timeless and able to withstand many years. “HBA is creating a true Casa Blanca (white house) ambiance touched by color accents throughout,” states Hughes.
Continuing with the sleek look and feel of the space, all of the wooden furniture will be natural grain oak and all furniture pieces will come from different parts of the world. One of the most unique aspects of the design is that many furniture pieces will have dual purposes, which lends itself to the minimal approach.
