The Lince Santa Clara

Located in a historic building rich in character and architectural heritage, The Lince Santa Clara, in Vila do Conde (Porto, Portugal), invites guests to immerse themselves in a unique experience.

As guests walk through the impressive vaulted corridors clad with the Karlstad Oak Pale (M6323) decor, it is impossible not to feel a special sense of immersion. Applied across different areas of the hotel, including guest rooms, the spa and common areas, it creates a continuous visual language that complements the architecture and reinforces the identity of the space.

"The Innovus décor helped bring the hotel's concept to life on both a sensory and visual level. By applying the same aesthetic principles across different surfaces, a coherent and continuous language was created, providing a more immersive experience for guests," says Ricardo Barreto, General Manager of the hotel. "This visual continuity translates into sophisticated and appealing environments, reinforcing the perception of quality and exclusivity throughout the guest journey," he adds.

Beyond design freedom, the choice of the Karlstad Oak Pale (M6323) décor met the performance requirements of the hospitality industry, ensuring durability, ease of maintenance and versatility.

Sustainability was also a key factor in the project. Produced with recycled and responsibly sourced wood, Sonae Arauco's products contribute to a more conscious approach, aligned with the current expectations of the sector.

The result is a hotel where the richness of historic architecture meets contemporary comfort, creating the feeling of stepping into a world of its own.
