Carbon-neutral Hotel Belmar in Costa Rica has unveiled its thoughtful room renovations completed this summer. The redesigned rooms harmonize the property’s focus on its unique natural setting while providing guests with the modern comforts they desire.
Local designers with Costa Rica’s NAAS Interior Culture led the project, redefining the guest experience with a subtle balance between contemporary design and the hotel’s forest surroundings. Rooms feature natural materials, such as wood, and a palette of subdued colors to create a warm and welcoming environment. Nearly all of the ecolodge’s 26 rooms were renovated.
Mid Century Modern elements and furniture provide clean lines and functionality to each room without compromising elegance and comfort. Textures and patterns on velvet and natural fibers add a layer of luxury and modernity to the renovated rooms. Materials chosen were sourced responsibly and selected for their low environmental impact. This includes the use of sustainable wood, low VOC paints, and organic fabrics that contribute to a healthier indoor environment.
The enhancement and upgrades to the rooms create spaces that invite visitors to bask in natural light and enjoy the sounds of the forest as they transition seamlessly between indoor comfort and the outdoors. The remodeled Sunrise Room, for example, offers a private balcony with panoramic views of the cloud forest and the Nicoya Peninsula, allowing guests to wake up to breathtaking vistas.
The design team integrated local art and craftsmanship throughout the hotel, celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Costa Rica. These unique pieces add authenticity and a sense of place, making each space within the hotel feel truly special. The renovations reflect Hotel Belmar’s continued commitment to environmental stewardship, offering guests a luxurious stay that aligns with the principles of responsible travel. This thoughtful redesign has transformed its rooms into eco-conscious sanctuaries, ideal for travelers seeking both comfort and sustainability in an unforgettable setting.
Pedro Belmar, Managing Director of Hotel Belmar, said: “We are excited to collaborate with NAAS to evolve the aesthetics of Hotel Belmar’s rooms and interiors. Preserving our historical features and reflecting the cultural values of our surrounding community are paramount, even as we elevate the overall guest experience. This partnership is perfectly aligned with our commitment to thoughtful design processes that honor organic growth and fluid evolution. We are delighted to inspire a design that captures our vision of sustainability, ensuring every enhancement supports our long-standing dedication to environmental stewardship.”
