Seville has a unique colour and the Cavalta Boutique Hotel embodies them all. Estudio Chico Muñoz undertook the complete refurbishment of a residential building in a distinctly regionalist style in the heart of Seville’s Triana district. It was quite a challenge, as the studio admits: “Apart from the façade, which dates back to 1929, the entire building was reconstructed from scratch, including the excavation of the basement”. The result is enchanting – an accommodation that smells of orange blossom and is flavoured with rebujito, exuding all the charm and essence of Seville, but with a contemporary design that does not compromise on comfort or trends.

Throughout this far from easy journey, Estudio Chico Muñoz relied on Cosentino, using Dekton and some of its finishes. “Working with Cosentino was the perfect combination of classic and modern. This is the essence of Cavalta, a building in which you can see the harmonious coexistence of materials such as wood or original vaulted ceilings with a greyish hue veined with modern, ultra-compact stone”. It’s pure art.

The hotel boasts 12 meticulously decorated rooms and a range of culinary venues for a unique dining experience, including an exclusive restaurant, cocktail bar and rooftop Garden Club with outdoor swimming pool. Dekton finishes can be found in virtually every room, “because of its groundbreaking aesthetics, as well as its versatility and durability. The different thicknesses make it easy to adapt the material to any space, playing with the same colour palette. The durability and ease of cleaning, thanks to its almost zero porosity, were paramount for applications in high-traffic areas,” the studio asserts.

For this reason, Dekton Laos was used for all of the cladding in the bathroom areas. The vertical walls were clad in 4 mm, while the floor and shower tray were clad in 8 mm. The washbasins, in the same colour, are of the Reflection model, with towel rails on the skirt.

Meanwhile, Dekton Sasea in 12 mm thickness is used on the terrace, providing an ideal access flooring solution to conceal the many installations typical of a building dedicated to this purpose. The same material is used to clad the swimming pool, ensuring continuity in the space, where Dekton gives off a warm light.

In the Balbuena y Huertas restaurant, Dekton Laurent is featured on the main bar and the round coffee tables, offering a bold colour that contrasts with the original hydraulic flooring. Here, the central round table next to the wine bar is made from Dekton Awake in a high gloss finish to enhance the lighting and create an elegant and refined atmosphere.
