Recently completed by Marble Systems: Marble Tile for The Hammam Day Spa at Condado Vanderbilt Hotel, San Juan PR

Marble Systems Inc  - the hospitality industry's leader in providing world-class selections of natural stone tile -  is pleased to announce the recent installation of custom and stock marble tile and mosaics in the newly opened Hammam Day Spa at the 100 year old Condado Vanderbilt Hotel San Juan PR, which has just undergone a full restoration and refurbishment.

Talya Mosaic Marble and Calacatta Marble Tile from MSI were used throughout The Hammam at the Spa - an unprecedented experience that weaves ancient purification rituals, exclusive to the Condado Vanderbilt Hotel.  Marble Systems has a distribution center in PR, as well as 2 in FL, 1 in NJ, 2 in VA, and 1 in CA

Condado Vanderbilt is a legendary hotel in the Carribean, designed originally by Warren and Whitmore - one of the foremost New York architectural firms of the 1900's - for the same Vanderbilt family who commissioned New York’s Biltmore, Commodore and Ambassador Hotels in the early 1900's. Warren and Whitmore also designed Grand Central Station.

The Psychology Of Restaurant Design

You think you’re in charge, having planned the time, the companions, the type of cuisine, and the ambiance for a dinner out. But what you don’t realize is, the restaurant has chosen you. Every detail has been meticulously plotted around your age, status, and preferences to lead you blithely to the restaurant’s door.

Here’s a look at the thinking behind the bar, playlist, tabletops, menu, hostess desk, and everything else you see, hear, taste, and smell.
