The interior strategy focused on layered materiality, controlled lighting hierarchy and spatial intimacy to create an immersive VIP environment distinct from the main hotel atmosphere.

Bespoke detailing — including illuminated stone features, custom-designed floor patterns, sculptural ceiling elements and textured wall installations — was integrated to reinforce exclusivity while maintaining functional clarity within the gaming layout.

Acoustic comfort and operational discretion were incorporated to ensure separation from the broader hotel environment without compromising flow.
