24 | Architecture & Design Inside the Inside the Design of Design of Hyatt Centric Hyatt Centric Malta Malta F ollowing the success of Hyatt Regency Malta, the internationally renowned Hyatt brand expanded its presence on the island with the launch of Hyatt Centric Malta last November. Nestled in the heart of St Julian's, the new modern lifestyle hotel places guests at the centre of the action, with direct access to the area's lively nightlife, diverse culinary scene, and stunning coastline - all within close proximity to Malta's historical centres. Tasked with bringing Malta's urban charm and heritage to life, Fabris & Partners collaborated with ESS, Malta's premier lighting supplier. Together, they designed key lighting features that provide guests with a distinct sense of place from the moment they arrive. A defining feature of the hotel's exterior is its façade, designed in collaboration with ESS and Fabris & Partners to mirror the vibrancy of St Julian's after dark. Like a chameleon, it shifts effortlessly through a dynamic spectrum of blue, white, red, and green, creating a captivating play of light and colour. The LED-lit exterior, arranged in a dynamic linear composition, creates a futuristic yet refined aesthetic, reinforcing the hotel's presence in the city's bustling nightlife district. This bespoke RGBW LED system, developed in partnership with Atenalux, an Italian leader in architectural and commercial lighting, is designed to subtly shift colours, adding depth and movement to the building's sleek, modern lines. Transforming with each striking shift in hue, the façade perfectly captures St Julian's urban spirit, ensuring the hotel stands out as a beacon of contemporary design in Malta's most dynamic entertainment hub. Beyond its vibrant façade, Hyatt Centric Malta also embraces the W o r k i n g a l o n g s i d e F a b r i s & P a r t n e r s , E S S d e l i v e r s a t r u l y i m m e r s i v e l i g h t i n g e x p e r i e n c e t h a t b r i n g s H y a t t C e n t r i c M a l t a t o l i f e — f r o m i t s v i b r a n t c o l o u r - s h i f t i n g f a ç a d e t o t h e s e r e n e a n d r e l a x i n g r e t r e a t w i t h i n
