The Noria Hotel

Set in the heart of Hatay—a city where history, culture, and Mediterranean nature intertwine—The Noria Hotel blends the spirit of the region with refined contemporary hospitality. Spanning 17,000 sqm, this project by DRN Group was fully illuminated by EC Lighting Design Studio, covering interiors, façades, and landscaped areas.

Our design drew inspiration from the architectural textures of old stone buildings, shaded courtyards, and the quiet glow of evening light in southern towns. On the façade, lighting highlights material richness with subtle elegance; inside, warm and tranquil tones create a sense of comfort and intimacy. In the landscape, gentle orientation lighting guides guests without disrupting the peaceful atmosphere.

The Noria Hotel offers more than illumination—it offers a feeling. A night-time identity shaped by light, rooted in Hatay’s cultural soul yet crafted for the present.
