The renovation of the hotel's public areas, designed by Gensler Mexico, creates a more flexible and contemporary experience in which lighting, interior design, and functionality support the different ways guests use the space

Located next to Benito Juárez International Airport, the Courtyard by Marriott Mexico City Airport has renovated its main public areas as part of the brand's evolution in the region. The project enhances the guest experience through more versatile spaces, designed to adapt to moments of rest as well as work, meetings, or the waiting periods that are part of a hotel closely connected to the rhythm of the airport.

The interior design project, developed by Gensler Mexico, includes the front desk and lobby, restaurant, bar, crew lounge, retail area, conference rooms, and a new boardroom. A comprehensive renovation that transforms the public areas into a sequence of connected environments, offering different levels of privacy and accommodating a variety of uses throughout the day.

More flexible public spaces

The new lobby is no longer simply a reception and circulation area, but now incorporates spaces for relaxing, meeting, and working. Furniture, materials, and layout help define each use while maintaining a continuous visual language throughout the space.

This flexibility responds to an increasingly dynamic way of traveling, in which hotel public spaces take on new functions. Working between trips, having an informal meeting, relaxing before a flight, or sharing a meal all become part of the same experience.

Lighting as part of the interior design

Estiluz lighting fixtures are integrated throughout the project's different public areas, supporting this variety of uses and helping to create a warm atmosphere within a setting of constant activity. The project features Volta and Circ lamps, both designed by Nahtrang Studio.

Light helps to visually define the different areas, creates a more intimate scale in spaces designed for lingering, and strengthens the relationship between furniture, materials, and architecture. Its integration into the project helps create comfortable environments without losing the visual continuity that characterizes the renovation.

In spaces such as the lobby, restaurant, bar, and areas designed for work and meetings, decorative lighting introduces points of light that enrich the interior and give the project a distinctive identity.

The renovation of the Courtyard by Marriott Mexico City Airport reflects the evolution of hotel spaces toward increasingly open, adaptable environments that respond to the real needs of the people who use them. The project brings together interior design, functionality, and lighting to transform the public areas into places to meet, work, take a break, or naturally continue the journey.
