Love Arbén

708 - Junior Suite 4U

Love Arbén works on the principle that guests prioritise three things in hotel rooms - looking out, watching TV or lying in the bath and staring at the ceiling. Three activities that have formed the basis for the décor in Junior Suite 4U. Arbén’s aim, through the use of stained glass and coloured surfaces, is to give the guest as content-rich an experience of their temporary home as possible. Through the windows of room 708, the guest can feel the warm, golden sunlight, see the greenery, experience the blue hour of twilight, or awaken in a rose-coloured shimmer - all at the same time. The TV’s central, rotating position allows your every TV-viewing desire to be met, whilst the bathroom’s size and intense red ceiling invite you to enjoy a sensuous bathing experience.
