Project story
Marriott International’s latest W project will contain 162 luxury guestrooms and suites, and is destined to be the ‘new entertainment hub in the Santa Eulalia neighbourhood’. The converted hotel is scheduled to open in summer 2019 and will contain a 4000 square foot Away Spa, private treatment rooms and a specialised gym experience. The external areas are designed to host a number of music events throughout the lively Ibiza summers.
The client required a flexible approach to building acoustic design, and was looking to achieve excellent performance in terms of noise transfer, whilst considering and assessing innovative solutions to provide economic viability. Sweco’s consultants presented proactive design solutions and provided support both in Ibiza, and from the office in London. As part of the detailed assessment, the client was able to retain existing masonry partitions and make significant construction time and cost savings whilst maintaining performance.
