Dedication by Hoti Hotels to Nini Andrade Silva

The history of Hoti Hotels has been closely linked to that of the Nini Andrade Silva studio for almost two decades. Ever since the first collaboration – the Meliá Madeira Mare – a relationship based on trust, admiration and mutual respect has been established. This relationship has evolved and strengthened, and is now an essential part of the growth and success of the HotiHotéis Group, which continues to find constant inspiration in the talent and sensitivity of Nini and her team.
Over the years, the Nini Andrade Silva studio has played a key role in defining the identity of several of our hotels, such as the Meliá Braga, the MeliáLisboa Aeroporto, the Star Inn Lisbon, and the refurbishments of the MeliáSetúbal, the TRYP LisboaCaparica, the Madeira Golden Residence and the Meliá Ria. In each of these projects, Nini has crafted a unique interpretation of the hotel space – a rare fusion of design, emotion and sense of place – which adds value and soul to each establishment.
“Nini has always been able to interpret the spirit of each project. Working with the studio means working with someone who understands the hotel as a living organism, which communicates, welcomes and excites. From Meliá Madeira Mare to the present day, this collaboration has been based on sharing, friendship and trust – values that endure and that we are proud of.” - Manuel Proença, Chairman of the Hoti Hotels Group
The relationship between HotiHotéis and the Nini Andrade Silva studio is also defined by a deep understanding of the client’s role in the creative process. Respect for the strategic guidelines and vision of each of the various brands with which we work is matched by a remarkable capacity for innovation, which results in coherent, inspiring solutions adapted to different contexts – fromcity hotels to leisure resorts, from new builds to refurbishments.
“We always find in Nini Andrade Silva and her team an extraordinary ability to listen, interpret and transform the client’s vision into a concept that amazes, in each space, through its creativity and cohesiveness. This harmony is what has made this collaboration so long-lasting and productive.” – Miguel Proença, CEO of the Hoti Hotels Group
HotiHotéis thus celebrates the talent and career of Nini Andrade Silva with gratitude and admiration, recognising her not only as a creative partner, but also as a true ambassador of the Portuguese identity around the world.
