The Hyatt Regency Lisbon recently opened in Belém, a development that combines hotel and investment components. This unique and exclusive project marks the arrival of one of the world’s largest hotel chains, Hyatt, in the Portuguese capital, brought by United Investments Portugal. Horto do Campo Grande is proud to be part of this project, where nature is integrated into the hotel’s luxurious environment.
The hotel features modern decor inspired by the Portuguese Discoveries and superior quality finishes. The 204 rooms, including 105 suites, enjoy stunning views over the Tagus River.
With guests who like to stay active even away from home in mind, Hyatt Regency Lisbon offers a space, Active by Serenity, which includes a gym and two fitness studios for classes.
Dining experiences are a standout feature of the hotel, which offers a wide and diverse range: the VISEVERSA restaurant and bar, in a “grand-café” style, ZEST for quick and healthy lunches and snacks, UMAN for those wishing to explore an exclusive chef’s menu celebrating world flavors, and ICON on the rooftop, with a panoramic view over the Tagus River.
The hotel hosts the Portuguese luxury brand dedicated to health and well-being, Serenity – The Art of Well Being. A spa of over 1,000 m2, with a wide range of wellness activities tailored to the individual needs of clients, capable of providing unique moments and memorable experiences.
Horto do Campo Grande’s proposal
The selection of plants made by the Horto do Campo Grande technical team for the Hyatt Regency took into account the characteristics and functionality of the spaces where they were placed, explains Vera Quintas, the engineer responsible for the project’s execution.
“In the Spa area, we took into account the existing low light and high humidity conditions, so the selection focused on tropical plant species adapted to these climatic conditions.”
In the Spa reception, two natural vertical gardens stand out in the decor of light tones and natural materials. These vertical gardens were covered with indoor plants adapted to the site conditions – Chamaedorea elegans, Spathiphyllum, Scindapsus, etc.
To define spaces and create greater privacy, the project planned for the creation of “hedge” structures; for these “natural screens,” species such as Aglaonema, Dracaena Marginata, Kentia (Howea Forsteriana), Monstera Deliciosa, Spathiphyllum, and Zamioculcas Zamifolia were chosen.
The selection of plants in the side bed of the indoor pool, an area with more light, focused on tropical species more resistant to direct light, such as Dypsis Lutescens (Areca), Philodendron Xanadu, Sansevieria Trisfasciata, Strelitzia Nicolai, and Zamioculcas Zamifolia.
The large outdoor vertical gardens, which can be seen from the gym, follow a puzzle-like pattern with rectilinear pieces, where the different sections were covered using a variety of species with different colors, textures, and lengths, stratified according to light conditions – Asparagus, Cupheas, Hedera helix, Lantana montevidensis, Santolina chamaecyparissus, Tradescantia zebrina, etc.
For the ViseVersa Restaurant and Bar, we chose tree-shaped Ficus Benjamina to place in the middle of the circular benches and Kentias (Howea Forsteriana) to decorate the space, which are in white fiberglass planters from the HC – Horto Collection, very resistant pieces with casters that allow for easy movement, whether to change the plant’s location or to facilitate cleaning the space. But the main highlight of this restaurant’s interior design is the artistic installation on the interior wall, representing a woman whose hair was simulated through the creation of a vertical green structure with Rhipsalis Baccifera.
