For 2023, Ibiza’s world-renowned rock ’n’ roll hotel Pikes are thrilled to announce major interior and exterior refurbishments, ready for the new season. The exciting new look is up to the minute, ultra high end, contemporary and stylish, incorporating clever nods to the magical eccentricities of Pikes and its glittering history.
The interior concept of the new Garden Suites is a heady alchemy of Brit-Eccentrics meets timeless rock ’n roll. Eight of the hotel’s original bedrooms, bathrooms and external spaces have received lavish modern makeovers with mid-century modern fittings and furnishings from a combination of brands, celebrating emerging and established British designers alongside bespoke Ibizencan makers and craftsmen.
Interior designer Lucinda Swayne who has headed up the project says ‘Pikes is a unique place. During the renovation, it was vital to ensure that the quirky elements of the interiors were retained to preserve the identity of the hotel. Within the redesign we have created eclectic comfortable rooms with a unique feel, coupled with micro-attention to functionality, so that guests will literally never want to leave’.
Bathrooms have been completely remodelled and refurbished with gold metallic sinks, mid-century modern brass taps and fittings, metro wall tiling finished with playful, colour matching wallpaper by Divine Savages. Each room boasts a different whimsical print from art deco martini glasses to exotic animals, tropical fruits, flowers and plants. Fragrant products from luxury cosmetics brand AESOP are found next to the sinks and in the showers for indulgent bathing. Silken Flavours have designed bespoke prints for beautiful silk kimonos in all of the rooms – perfect for the morning after!
Taking pride of place in each of the new Garden Suites is a well-equipped mini bar featuring a coloured stone worktop, a mirrored back, Rattan front, LED lighting and mini SMEG fridges with drinks and snacks.
Design duo Divine Savages have also created bespoke fringed lampshades and soft cushions in each room, complimenting the wallpaper of the bathrooms. Bespoke stools upholstered with ‘Tiger Mountain’ by Six The Residence are a vintage touch and a geometric pattern print by Kirkby Design called ‘Piccadilly Line’ is a nod to London with a 1970’s twist. Scandi-style furniture is made of pale wood and wardrobes are panelled with rattan for texture.
Comfort is one of the key focuses for the redesign. Each room has a super-king bed with top quality mattresses, covered with deep toppers and crisp white cotton bedding. Statement velvet scalloped headboards and matching black-out curtains on the windows ensure the deepest and most comfortable nights. Vibrant abstract printed throws by SlowDown Studio compliment the luxurious beds whilst underfoot you find beautiful soft Nordic Knot rugs covering cool stone floors.
Floors have been kept natural with the use of local stone in a golden earthy tone. To preserve the authenticity of the rooms, the original finca style with Sabina wooden ceiling beams has been retained, with exterior and interior walls painted in shades of neutral matt clean colour palette to ensure maximum light.
In terms of tech, new wall mounted Samsung TV’s are programmed with a selection of channels and apps alongside the ability to cast from your own devices. Each room has a vintage-style, bluetooth compatible Roberts Radio, USB charging points, straighteners and hairdryers for guests.
The exteriors for each room have been redesigned for privacy and floored with Ibizan stone to match the interiors and subtle night-time lighting. A selection of the Garden Suites also feature giant 2-4 person exterior wooden clad baths and there are Silken Favours printed deckchairs for guests to relax on to give a pop of fun and colour to the private gardens.
“Pikes is timeless and must always retain its beautifully core authentic ethos and essence. By sensitively tweaking we’ve kept its meaning and legacy on a rapidly changing island whilst allowing the heart of Pikes to live on unchanged.” Andy McKay ceo Ibiza Rocks Group
