Samba
Where Festive Energy Comes Alive
The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating for 122 guests,
with the al fresco area overlooking the hotel swimming pool on Level 8. Designed by Manny Samson & Associates (MSA), local material in natural
and subdued tones capture the elegant and bespoke
interior design applications. Manny Samson, the principal designer,
has honed his talent in the creation of memorable interiors
in various parts of North America, Africa, Australia, South America and Asia, while residing for almost two decades in Los Angeles, California, before moving back to Asia.
Notable in the restaurant interiors are the butterfly patterns
on the glass panels, reflective of Peru’s natural heritage
as the home of over 3,700 butterfly species – more than any other country and equal to about 20% of the world’s total butterfly population.
YOUR EVERYDAY
ESCAPE TO
PARADISE.
"I have embraced the use and adaptation of
ethnic art forms from the uniqueness and character
of a country’s culture for an interior design project.
With this design principle, there is a continuous
innovation of material applications and refined details."
