The restaurant in the lounge, which offers a variety of formal and informal seating options, is equally saturated with color, albeit in slightly more subtle shades. Soothing yellows and greens are balanced by grounding grays and blacks, which merge at the center of the room&#8217;s long<span>&nbsp;bi-color dining table for a dramatic focal point.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sdg-migration-id.s3.amazonaws.com\/Interior-Design-ARCO-Madrid-2020-_MG_1007.jpg\" alt=\"\" caption=\"true\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sdg-migration-id.s3.amazonaws.com\/Interior-Design-ARCO-Madrid-2020-_MG_1007.jpg\" alt=\"\" caption=\"true\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption><span><span>To avoid clusters and queues, the design includes a long bar at the end, framed by a metal curtain installation and moving lampshades.<\/span>&nbsp;Photography by&nbsp;<\/span><span><span>Asier Rua.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sdg-migration-id.s3.amazonaws.com\/Interior-Design-ARCO-Madrid-2020-_MG_1066.jpg\" alt=\"\" caption=\"true\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sdg-migration-id.s3.amazonaws.com\/Interior-Design-ARCO-Madrid-2020-_MG_1066.jpg\" alt=\"\" caption=\"true\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption><span><span><span>The main plaza comes as a surprise to guests who enter through a mysterious black tunnel.
