Everything is calm
We are nothing more than a handful of sea, a whim of the Sun. Calm down, everything is calm. Jorge Drexler sang
as much in his song and this is how the traveller who chooses the Hotel AC Punta Cana by Marriott for his vacations
feels. A project by the architecture and interior design studio Requena y Plaza.

The Madrid-based Requena y Plaza studio
has carried out the interior design, execution
and supplied the furniture for the project of
the Hotel AC Punta Cana by Marriot. A newly
built building located in the centre of the most
tourist area of the Dominican Republic, the
Bávaro Boulevard Centre in Punta Cana. The
commissioned project consisted of the execution
of all its common areas, the outdoor
areas and its 129 rooms; differentiated into
various typologies that manage to create a homogeneous
common thread in terms of inspiration,
style and image. It is not the first time
that the studio has worked for the Marriott
Group: “carrying out a new project for this
Group is a great satisfaction and recognition
of our work and commitment to our clients,”
says José Plaza, founding partner of Requena
y Plaza. “In addition, we set foot in the American
market, an important step for the studio.”
Immerse yourself in the essence of the place
The decorative style chosen for the hotel is
contemporary and has been totally adapted to
the requirements of today´s guest, which includes
integrating the essence of the place where
it is located. To achieve this goal, the interior
design studio has used natural materials and
fabrics that evoke the culture, flora and fauna
of the Dominican Republic.
The range of colours has been inspired by the
elements of the earth: sand, chocolate brown...
Warm colours that revolve around the natural
and organic, generating an atmosphere of
tranquility and calm. Something crucial for
the well-being and enjoyment of guests. Thus,
among the materials we find porcelain tiles,
raw wood, treated glass and different naturallooking
textiles.
