In developing the concept for the interior of Corinthia Meydan Beach Hotel Restaurant, the main theme has been to create a vintage atmosphere that showcases a gallery of tastes, art and exhibitionary cooking. Space is configured as a succession of six distinct restaurants offering different and complementary culinary experiences. Indoor and outdoor spaces are blended providing visual continuity. The materials are luxurious, and the atmosphere refined but always welcoming.

The long Gallery is marked by appealing architectural elements that guide the guest through a “path of taste”. Starting from the Barista Theatre with its sumptuous double-height brass display and the smart coffee counter, the tour continues through an arched scenography like in an Art Nouveau garden that is divided into the Cafeteria and Pastry Shop spaces. From here it is possible to observe the spectacularly luminous cocktail bar.

The ephemeral volume of the cocktail bar is balanced by the enormous hood of the Hot Kitchen next door, which hangs over the counter. Here the space contracts and finds its fulcrum in the open show-kitchen, drawing attention to the preparation of hot food and the grill.
The path then culminates in the last two spaces characterized by the pendant lights installation: the Garde Manger for the preparation of raw food and the Flat Bread Oven dining characterized by a display system integrated with a double-height wine cellar.
On the upper floor, a private lounge with a dining room welcomes customers looking for more intimate and reserved spaces. The finishes and furnishings are designed for the enjoyment of more private and exclusive space.
The use of the spaces and the atmosphere that characterizes them changes during the hours of the day marked by the rituals of hospitality: breakfast, lunch, snacks, aperitif, dinner, drink after dinner. The spaces are arranged in harmony and the night lights create unexpected and vibrant atmospheres.
