Website Design for The Salil Hotel Riverside
Our team at More Studio has designed a website that fully embodies the unique “Collage of the Mismatched” concept of The Salil Hotel Riverside. This site seamlessly integrates various art elements, dynamic visuals, and layered designs to offer visitors an engaging and immersive digital experience. Users can explore diverse features, including booking accommodations, discovering dining options, and exploring art collaborations, all through an intuitive and mobile-responsive interface.
With thoughtful navigation and a seamless user experience, The Salil Hotel Riverside website brings the eclectic riverside experience to life online, offering users an opportunity to engage with the hotel’s unique blend of luxury, art, and culture from anywhere.
At the core of the website is the idea of discovery, just like wandering through the hotel’s many layers of experiences. Whether you’re a guest looking to indulge in fine dining, unwind at a riverside spa, or explore cultural collaborations, the website allows you to navigate effortlessly through each unique offering.
☞Our Approach
We began by delving deep into The Salil Hotel Riverside’s brand story. Inspired by their "Journey of Dreams" concept, we designed a website where every element—from visual layouts to navigation—reflects The Salil Hotel Riverside’s distinct identity.
☞Design Principle
Journey-First Storytelling
At the heart of the website is the journey. Users are led through different sections, just as guests would explore different parts of the hotel. Whether it’s indulging in a fine meal at NAVA, unwinding at the Harnn Heritage Spa, or discovering collaborations with local artists, the website brings each experience to life with visual cues and intuitive navigation.
Eclectic Design Language
Inspired by The Salil Hotel Riverside's concept of contrasts—traditional yet modern, serene yet lively—we embraced a design approach that combines soft, inviting visuals with bold, contemporary typography. The website features vivid imagery, playful animations, and smooth transitions, offering an interactive, exploratory experience for users.
