Ha(a)ïtza, a Design Boutique Hotel Pyla-sur-Mer, France

"Philippe Starck’s new project, the hotel Ha(a)ïtza is located next to the Dune of Pilat and the famous hotel La Co(o)rniche. The hotel features a covered swimming pool under an opening glass roof as well as a Ren spa, a famous Parisian hairdresser's salon, and a Techno-gym fitness room. Ha(a)ïtza also includes a gastronomic restaurant run by Chef Stéphane Carrade, a cocktail bar, a cake shop and a tea house providing a selection of infusions and organic teas. The spacious reception hall, with a view over the swimming pool, can host weddings for up to 200 people. Guests will also find a boutique, and a conference room with a 50-person capacity. Mixing the light wood and warm-white tones with fine touches of steel, the room decoration follows perfectly the Philippe Starck’s best codes, for a refined and unpretentious style. The glazed bathroom opens on the gentle and welcoming bedroom." - My Boutique Hotel (en)
