A sustainable development model is one that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Based on this definition, the MODE project was born in Rimini, involving 13 of the most important and influential architecture studios in the hospitality sector, each invited to offer their own interpretation of sustainable design.
The MODE project takes shape as a hospitality space that serves as a benchmark for the industry, based on the redevelopment of old historic structures from Rimini’s tourism industry.
Known primarily as a sun & beach destination, Rimini stands out in the market not only for its seaside and inland leisure tourism offer, but also for its business appeal, thanks to internationally renowned events and exhibitions. Rimini is an iconic city and destination committed to evolving itself.
“Awareness. This is the key word for today’s and tomorrow’s tourism, understood as an increased consciousness of sustainable travel both in choosing accommodations that align with sustainability principles and in people’s purchasing behaviors that favor low environmental impact products and solutions”, says Mauro Santinato, President of Teamwork Hospitality and creator of the MODE HOTEL project. “MODE HOTEL is a response to this need and aims to be a hub of innovation both in terms of eco-sustainable design and hotel management.”
MODE HOTEL was born from the redevelopment of the former Hotel Arlesiana in Rimini, located in the San Giuliano Mare area near the harbor and within short distance of the city’s main business and leisure attractions.
The structure of MODE HOTEL is a permanent showroom: each room offers a unique experience, reflecting the personal vision of eco-sustainable hospitality of each designer. MODE HOTEL breaks away from traditional hotel definitions, embracing a philosophy of doing things differently.
