Golden Port Salou & Spa enhances guest arrival experience with immersive digital marquee

July 2025

Golden Hotels & Experiences, a hospitality group with a strong presence along the Costa Dorada, Costa Brava, and Costa de Barcelona, takes a bold step in architectural innovation by installing a next-generation digital marquee at its Golden Port Salou & Spa hotel. This 80 m² structure, seamlessly integrated into the roof of the main entrance, acts as a dynamic digital canvas featuring modular design, sustainability, and energy efficiency. More than just a technological feature, the marquee plays a central role in the hotel’s architectural identity. Located in the heart of Salou, Golden Port Salou & Spa reinforces its image as a space of modern hospitality, blending comfort, wellness, gastronomy, and now, immersive technology. The digital lighting becomes a standout element that elevates the visitor experience from the very first moment, creating a sensory atmosphere that guides and enhances the entire guest journey.

This structure stands out not only for its advanced technology, but also as a key architectural feature of the hotel’s design. The illuminated marquee becomes the focal point of the space, functioning as a digital canvas integrated into a dynamic stretch-fabric ceiling. Spanning 80 m² and featuring over 12,000 RGBW pixels with P82 resolution, it projects high-definition audiovisual content in real time. Its lighting adjusts precisely to each event, mood, or moment of the day, reinforcing the identity of the space and enhancing the guest experience in a truly unique way. The result is an experiential lighting marquee that goes beyond its technological function — it acts as a living digital canvas, capable of creating immersive atmospheres through custom-designed content tailored for every occasion.

A digital marquee that becomes a narrative surface through dynamic lighting

The lighting concept and design were developed by Lumalia Studio, who also oversaw the fabrication, installation, and integration of the digital canvas into the ceiling, as well as its technical programming. Meanwhile, Channel4you, part of the LED DREAM GROUP, was responsible for designing and managing the audiovisual content projected onto this dynamic surface.

The use of RGBW LEDs brings greater chromatic richness, and every component was custom-designed and manufactured specifically for this installation — from the panels and LEDs to the connection elements, distribution system, stretch fabric, and technical programming. Every detail was conceived to seamlessly integrate with the hotel’s architecture, adapting effortlessly to circular surfaces.

Aligned with emerging trends in experiential design through digital lighting

Sustainability and energy efficiency as integral parts of the design—enhancing the overall experience

Digital lighting marquees are emerging as standout features in sustainable architectural design, reducing the need for direct lighting while optimizing energy consumption. These lightweight, versatile, and visually striking structures combine aesthetics with lighting efficiency. The marquee at Hotel Golden Port Salou & Spa is a prime example of how this technology can be seamlessly integrated into boutique hotels to create personalized atmospheres that deliver both functional and sensory value. Thanks to its modular design, RGBW technology, and point-by-point control, the installation not only enables fully customized lighting environments but also ensures efficient energy use.
It’s a clear example of how cutting-edge solutions like this can go beyond aesthetics—creating a strong identity, enhancing visual comfort, reducing the reliance on direct lighting, and enriching the guest experience from the very first moment they arrive.
