We are proud to share that Hotel Tapestry has been shortlisted at the World Architecture Festival 2026 in the WAF Future Projects – Leisure-led Development category, one of the most important international awards in architecture.
The festival takes place from November 18 to 20 at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where two members of our team will present the project live to an international jury, followed by a Q&A. Category winners then present again to a super-jury, which names the World Building and Future Project of the Year at the WAF Gala Dinner on November 20. This year’s shortlist brings together 416 projects selected from more than 630 entries worldwide.
Located in La Fortuna, at the foothills of the Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica, Tapestry La Fortuna is conceived as a refuge where nature becomes the protagonist. Rather than a single object on the site, the hotel unfolds as a sequence of interconnected spaces, terraces and paths that frame the rainforest and the volcano. Four themes, nature, history, culture and tradition, shape the design, from the volcanic landscape and the town’s agricultural roots to the heritage of the Maleku people.
The project brings together approximately 160 guest rooms, restaurants, wellness spaces, pools and meeting areas, with open, shaded spaces that keep guests in constant contact with the surrounding forest.
