CHAPI Design was entrusted with the monumental task of shaping the interior world of the new Ritz‑Carlton in Mexico City—a hotel that boasts 150 uniquely conceived guest rooms drawn from an astounding 135 distinct room typologies.

The design brief was nothing short of a canvas for imagination: to translate the kinetic energy of a metropolis where modernity collides with centuries‑old tradition, and where the lingering echo of Mexican surrealism drifts through every boulevard and market stall. The result is a palette that bursts with bold, saturated hues—electric terracotta, deep indigo, and sun‑kissed gold—paired with meticulously crafted custom furniture, bespoke textiles, and hand‑finished metalwork.

Each element, from the sculptural light fixtures that mimic the fluid lines of Frida Kahlo’s brushstrokes to the intricate mosaics echoing the city’s vibrant street art, is designed to stand alone yet contribute to a cohesive narrative that feels simultaneously contemporary and timeless.

By marrying the exuberant spirit of Mexico City with the refined elegance expected of the Ritz‑Carlton brand, CHAPI Design has created a hotel interior that is not merely a place to stay, but an immersive, ever‑changing work of art that invites guests to linger in the surreal beauty of the city itself.
