Jaipur, the Pink City, known for its rich history and cultural heritage, has now received a touch of Greek architectural elegance with the introduction of Diona. Located on the rooftop of the 14th-floor Grand Anukampa hotel, Diona is a sprawling 36,000-square-foot space designed by Chromed Design Studio. Drawing inspiration from the enchanting Santorini in Greece, Diona offers an exquisite and vibrant experience that rejuvenates the city's atmosphere.
Chromed's design team has ingeniously repurposed existing shafts into standalone pillars, adorning them with monochromatic stone and marble. This transformation mirrors the dynamic layout of Santorini and creates a captivating contrast against the backdrop of Jaipur's pink city. As you step out of the elevator, a stunning crystal ceiling and a massive green wall adorned with an emblem greet you, immediately becoming a buzzworthy spot on Jaipur's social media.
Diona's interior seamlessly blends volumes, niches, and rounded curves with monochromatic themes, creating an organic and tranquil atmosphere. Cabanas of varying heights in the seating area provide serenity amidst lush plantations. Inspired by Greek architecture, Diona features oak floors with brass inlays indoors and uses broken marble, wood, and plain cement concrete outdoors. The lighting, a hallmark of Chromed's projects, includes individual spotlights on outdoor pillars and light spheres in the cabana area, immersing guests in a Grecian ambiance.
One of Diona's unique features is the Metric Lighting System, which uses kinetically charged fabric lights that move rhythmically, syncing up with music for a club-like atmosphere. The color palette at Diona is carefully chosen to create comfort through a blend of conscious and subconscious stimuli. The indoor areas burst with vibrancy, while the outdoors embrace mild neutral and monochromatic shades, offering a luxurious and comfortable setting for diners.
At Diona, art is an integral part of the design, and it invites guests to immerse themselves in a Grecian-inspired setting while savouring international cuisine. Diona is not just a restaurant; it's a sensory experience that transports you to the timeless allure of Greece, right in the heart of Jaipur.
