Casino y Hotel del Desierto - Antofagasta - Chile (Estudio Larrain Arquitectura)

About 13,000 sqm. of Beige Pinar sandstone was used in the interior and exterior paving & cladding of this magnificent building.


Hotel, Resort & Casino situated in Antofagasta (Chile) opposite the Museum of the Atacama Desert, at the foot of the Huanchaca ruins.


Surrounded by the Atacama dessert and facing the sea. The stone blends perfectly with its surrounds. The architect envisaged an “oasis”, desert like in the outside and plenty of light in the inside.


The façade is covered with slate, glass, copper and Beige Pinar sandstone, materials that are also used throughout the inside.
