Room Mate Hotels, the design hotel chain founded and chaired by Kike Sarasola, will open its first hotel in Ibiza in May: Room Mate Ángel. Located in the port of Ibiza, the new hotel will have 228 rooms, a
rooftop terrace with stunning views of the old town, swimming pool, spa, piano-bar, restaurant-club and event room.

Designed by the renowned architecture and interior design studio Cuarto Interior, led by José Manuel Fernández and Germán Álvarez, Room Mate Ángel's warm decoration stands out with a clear prominence of white tones - traditional to the island - and the lighting, which will transform the space from bright by day to intimate at night.

Room Mate Ángel is located in a well-known building in the center of Ibiza, which was previously occupied by the historic Hotel El Puerto, and is divided into 8 categories of rooms - Basic, Standard, Standard with balcony, Superior, Premium, Junior Suite, Suite and Suite Ángel.

In the words of Kike Sarasola, president and founder of Room Mate Group: "as an ambassador of the island, for me it is a dream to finally have a hotel in Ibiza and that it is precisely with this project. The Hotel El Puerto has been iconic and together with my friends José Manuel and Germán from Cuarto Interior, we want it to be a new meeting point for Ibicencos and lovers of the isl and this coming summer. Also, I am especially excited to name it Ángel as a tribute to Ángel Nieto, who has been an inspiration for our country and for me".

In addition, Room Mate's decided commitment to the island of Ibiza does not stop with the opening of the hotel accommodation but is doubled with the launch in Ibiza of two new emblematic venues: a piano-bar and a restaurant-club. Two culinary and entertainment concepts that see the light linked to the Ibiza project and that the chain wants to export throughout its hotels around the world. Two spaces that will be managed by one of the main restaurant groups in Ibiza and that will be the ideal complement to the hotel's new Rooftop. With 500 square meters, it has a perfect location to enjoy one of the best sunsets in Ibiza and admire Dalt Vila and the Mediterranean. It will be a monochrome sand and gray space of boho-chic inspiration with fibers and natural materials such as wicker, wood and linen, crowned by a panoramic outdoor pool adorned with nets next to the water, reminiscent of the catamarans that moor in the port, located a few meters from the hotel.

For their part, José Manuel Fernández and Germán Álvarez from Cuarto Interior, explain "we are delighted to start this adventure with Room Mate Hotels, after having worked with Kike at Room Mate Gorka in San Sebastián and Room Mate Leo in Granada. We identify closely with the brand's values and fully share its philosophy and style, all the more so if it is at our favorite vacation destination!"

With this opening, the hotel chain continues with its expansion plan and its commitment to Spain, with the upcoming opening of Room Mate Olivia in Mallorca and the expansion of Room Mate Leo in Granada. The company reinforces its international presence with 2 hotels in Portugal, a hotel in Lisbon and one in Porto and will continue betting on Italy with a new hotel in Rome.

INSPIRATION OF CUARTO INTERI OR FOR ROOM MATE ANGEL
Cuarto Interior has a special relationship with the island since it is part of the life, memories and even the vacations of José Manuel Fernández and Germán Álvarez, so the Balearic inspiration is an intrinsic part of the project.

Piano-bar Room Mate Ángel

It is an unstructured and informal space, very eclectic with a thoughtful selection of 20th century furniture pieces and continuous microcement floors decorated with 100% wool rugs designed and made to measure exclusively for the hotel. Wood will also predominate on the floor and a good part of the furniture.

Another constant: the upholstery in leather and of course, there will be very warm colors in red, garnet and anthracite tones in contrast to a palette of neutrals. The play of mirrors and golden light will generate reflections and sparkles creating a magical atmosphere.

Room Mate Ángel will also surprise guests and visitors with a collection of Mediterranean colored wallpaper. They will be like expressionist paintings with loose and spontaneous brush strokes.
