Philippines 10 – Cabaret & Lounge

Located in the basement of the Hotel Presidente, Philippines 10 was conceived with the ambition of raising the standard of nightlife in Benidorm, within a highly competitive environment largely focused on British tourism. Unlike the typical offering of live-show bars, this project proposes a higher-quality alternative, both in its setting and in the overall show experience.
The design takes the hotel’s address—Avenida Filipinas 10—as its starting point, building an identity that blends Art Deco references with a tropical, gold-toned atmosphere, evoking the golden age of cabaret. The result is an immersive space that plays with the memory of the 1920s and 1970s, integrating the building’s origins with a contemporary design language.

Key design elements:

• Indirect lighting system that transforms architectural elements into light emitters: bar, stage, columns, and perimeter sofas.
• Columns conceived as sculptural luminaires, featuring silk-screened glass panels and perimeter lighting systems.
• Ceiling with golden metallic bands arranged radially toward the stage, unifying and hierarchizing the space.
• Black-and-white zigzag flooring, recalling classic Art Deco mosaics.
• Dual seating system: a central cabaret area with tables and armchairs for maximum capacity and flexibility, and perimeter sofas that create a more intimate, lounge-oriented atmosphere.
