Spacious modern resort lounge with wood slat walls, minimalist black tables, cozy chairs, a potted orchid, and natural light creating a calm, elegant ambiance.
Elegant modern interior with wooden doors opening to a luxurious lounge. Features plush seating, a central sculpture, and sunset view through vertical blinds.

Nestled among the lush mangrove jungles and ancient ruins, overlooking the azure waters of the Caribbean, few destinations boast the natural splendor of the surrounding state of Quintana Roo like the Waldorf Astoria Cancun.

Not far from its roots, the design incorporates memorable moments and bespoke details that embody the spirit of the surrounding elements. Carpet patterns emulate the movement of water; finish selections undulate between raw and polished, while pearlescent inlays and decorative details shimmer like moonlight on the water. The HBA San Francisco studio approached the design concept of this project as a journey of discovery. Dramatic volumes and sophisticated finishes frame picturesque views. Jewel-like moments are found as guests make their way through the spaces.

“Our story of place takes inspiration from shells, from the white sand beaches of the Mexican Caribbean to artistic adornments that reflect an air of prestige and luxury. We focused on exquisite finishes to elevate the interiors as well as exaggerated volumes that echo more museum-like spaces.”

— Jacob Royster, Associate, HBA
