CLOS

CLOS extends the existing culture in Atlantic City, where
nightlife still flourishes, even in the current environment
of casino foreclosures. CLOS peels back the city’s slick
facade to reveal its darker, hedonistic pulse, celebrating
decadence, sparking curiosity, and beckoning the inner
savage of every guest. Lit Clos, a Prohibition-era speak-
easy hidden with the hotel, offers a more concentrated
and intense experience. An ideal spot for bachelorette and
bachelor parties, Lit Clos celebrates the city as a popular
destination for such events.

In keeping with the theme of peeling back, CLOS uses
a series of “peels” to carve out distinct spaces, creating
different levels of transparency throughout the hotel.
This leads guests on a journey from the curious periph-
eral peels to the decadent and savage interior. Materials
like bronze, steel, marble, rich wood veneers, deep gray
carpets, and velvet upholsteries reflect and enrich the fun-
damental aesthetic.
