Las Chicas, Los Chicos y los Maniquís Restaurant is the Food & Beverage offer of Hotel Axel Madrid. The objective of the design was to create an atmosphere of liberty and diversion with a certain disruptive touch.
The design of the AXEL Hotel in Madrid superposes a series of historic references forming a complex and explosive tandem.
Firstly, the privileged location in the very midst of Madrid´s literary neighborhood.
Secondly, the palatial 19th-century building in which it is located.
Finally, an important role in the design choices played by some of Madrid´s most traditional and popular characteristics. To achieve this atmosphere, colors are applied with different characters and material nature in each zone.
What was originally the entrance divides today the most public part of the restaurant into two rooms. Both spaces are designed under the same concept: a carefree atmosphere with a distinctly colorful character employing large graphic elements of color with references to the ”Movida Madrileña” and the visual universe created by Almodovar, the well-known Spanish movie director.
In the lower part of the hotel, the restaurant has three small interconnected dining rooms where, once again, color is the indisputable principal element.
