The Liberty Signa is not just a hotel; it's a narrative woven from the threads of various cultures, meticulously integrated into its architecture and interior design. The use of local stone is not merely a nod to environmental consciousness but a deliberate choice to anchor the hotel in its cultural milieu. The design team, led by Sait Guray Yalcin, has gone to great lengths to ensure that every room and villa within the hotel is a sanctuary of comfort, infused with amenities that cater to the discerning tastes of its guests.
What sets Liberty Signa apart is its commitment to cultural integrity and environmental sensitivity. The design pays homage to the spawning grounds of the Caretta Caretta turtles, ensuring that their natural habitat is preserved and respected. This sensitivity extends to the selection of plants within the hotel's aromatic garden, chosen for their adaptability to the local climate and their contribution to the hotel's sustainable ethos.
The realization of this design is a symphony of high-quality materials and colors, each chosen to evoke the cultural essence intended for every space. From the wood veneer furniture to the natural stone flooring, every material is a deliberate choice that contributes to the hotel's narrative of luxury and heritage. The diverse material palette not only enriches the visual experience but also enhances the functional quality of the spaces.
Spanning a construction area of 102,000 square meters, the Liberty Signa boasts an array of room types and villas, alongside a variety of culturally-themed restaurants and common areas. Each space, from the Turkish to the Teppanyaki restaurants, is a distinct chapter in the hotel's story, offering guests an immersive cultural experience. The design team's expertise is evident in the technical specifications, ensuring that the hotel's grandeur is matched by its operational excellence.
In the creation of Liberty Signa, the design team has overcome significant challenges, particularly in the representation of multiple cultures within the hotel's restaurants. The synthesis of cultural elements with modern design required a deep understanding of the cultures being represented, a challenge that the team met with extensive research and stakeholder engagement. The result is a design that not only reflects the diversity of cultures but also resonates with the surrounding community and environment.
The Liberty Signa stands as a Silver Awardee in the A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2024, a recognition of its excellence in design innovation and cultural representation. This prestigious accolade underscores the hotel's status as a masterpiece of modern hospitality, where every detail is a celebration of tradition and luxury.
