"The Water Club\nPlayful and Sensual, a Boutique Hotel in Puerto Rico Gets in the Mood\nSoft blue light emanates from the guest rooms of The Water Club, a hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico. \"We wanted to bring some sensuality to it,\" says co-owner David Kurland, who worked with designers Anny Falgas and Pedro Rosario, of Design-Works.\nThe reception area.\nThe appropriately hued foyer of the hotel's restaurant, Tangerine. El Chupacabras is by local artist Carlos Mercado. Kravet chair fabric.\nIn the dining area, which was originally intended to be a conference room, sheer fabric is draped over lights to create a diffused orange glow.\nKurland claims that watching hotel revelers is \"the greatest spectator sport in town.\"\nThe bar, Liquid, features floors made of one-inch-thick glass tiles illuminated from below by neon tubes. \"We wanted to use as much transparency as possible because the space was limited,\" explains Rosario. Brueton leather barstools.\nTo ensure that guests experience a singular elevator ride, the design team eliminated the roof of the cabin, exposing the brilliant blue of the elevator shaft. Enclosed water cascades down the glass walls of the interior and reflects the blue light from above, which, according to Kurland, helps to quell any sensation of vertigo.\nA water sculpture, created by DesignWorks, reflects the movement of guests as they travel through the hallways to their rooms. Whimsical water references abound. The sound of crashing waves resonates from hidden speakers, diaphanous curtains undulate, and tiles with transposed images of river rocks are underfoot.\nA typical guest room. \"The vision was to infuse and soften the harshness of minimalism with the relaxed qualities of the Caribbean\u2014and to convey that everywhere in the hotel,\" Kurland says. The bed fabrics are from Kravet.\nWarm tropical breezes gather under the canopy of the hotel's rooftop entertainment area, Wet Bar. The design, Kurland says, revolves around the elements of fire and wind.\nThe pool, also located on the roof, is bordered on three sides by a glass railing. Guests can enjoy panoramic views of the Atlantic."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
