ORIGIN SHORT STORY AND PHILOSOPHY

It all started in 2013 when Grant Phelps, a kiwi wine maker, who has been settled in Valparaiso for 13 years at the time, visits his home town Christchurch a couple of years after the earthquake, and gets to see the recovery Project “Re:Start”, built in the city center with shipping containers, he was amazed with the idea of reusing this structures to create a building, and got him wondering why anything like this had been done in Valparaiso, a port city. When he goes back he decides to start a container project related to turism and chilean wine, and offers to his girlfriend, the architect Camila Ulloa to develop the architectural design, she accepts the offer and they start looking for a property where to materialize the idea, at the same time, they elaborate on the concepts that will give identity and will be difussed through the building itself and the products and services that will be offered. These guidelines will be sustainability, applied to the form of construction, repurposing used shipping containers and as many materials as they could for furniture, decoration, insulation, etc. The use of renewable energy and Chilean wine, by becoming a platform to showcase the diverse and interesting chilean proposals. It was important to also incorporate graffiti art in the project, being in the second biggest graffiti art city in southamaerica, that’s why the hotel has one piece of graffiti art in every room and space, made by locals and international artists, so it can be a testimony of the talented artists that make their art in different cities of the world.

ROOFTOP

The hotel counts with common spaces that the guest can make use of, which are the terrace in the first floor, this one communicates with the rooms that are on this floor, the reception area and a multipurpose space that can be used for meetings, presentations, tastings, etc.
The biggest common area is the rooftop terrace, that has breath taking views of the city, the hills and the ocean, this space is equipped with a kitchen anda bar, here is where our buffet breakfast is served and also where our guest can enjoy the beautiful sunsets that the port delight us with. In this space is where we hold corporate or private events.
