| September 26, 2007 - Global hospitality design, architecture
and procurement firm Gettys has been awarded the interior design commission
for the exclusive hotel and spa at the $120mm Papagayo Princess Resort
development in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. The project�s developer is Switzerland-based
SunVesta, a global owner and operator of luxury hotel and resort destinations
in world-class locations around the world.
Papagayo lies on the north Pacific coast of Costa Rica in Guanacaste
province. Characterized by its dry, tropical climate and lush vegetation,
the luxury resort will be enveloped by stretches of the twelve pristine
beaches on the peninsula and the crystal blue waters of the warm Pacific
ocean. The resort will feature sustainable and ecologically
sensitive design to compliment, enhance and give back to the stunning natural
surroundings that it will call home.
Gettys will collaborate across all four global offices � Chicago, Hong Kong, Irvine and Miami � to complete this exciting project, including the exclusive private residence club, luxury spa, and multiple food and beverage destinations. In June, Gettys completed the extensive disaster recovery renovation of the Hyatt Regency Cancun. Following the devastation of Hurricane Wilma in October 2005, and alongside
the ownership group and OBM International, Gettys assessed the damage to
the property and devised a cost sensitive, high-impact design solution
for the complete renovation of all 300 guestrooms, guest baths, corridors
and public spaces.
The resulting four-star destination resort features contemporary styling influenced by the natural materials, colors and exquisite craftsmanship of Mexico.
Established in 1988, Gettys is an award-winning interior design, design architecture, and procurement firm based in Chicago with offices in Miami, Irvine, Calif., and Hong Kong. Work across North America, Asia, and the Caribbean has earned Gettys a reputation as one of the finest hospitality design and procurement firms in the world.
