EOS Curio Collection by Hilton
about.
Situated in Tulum, Quintana Roo, the EOS Curio Collection is a luxury residential and hospitality complex operating under the Hilton brand. Encircled by the Jaguar Park—a landmark for ecotourism and cultural conservation—the site offers an immersive experience deeply connected to the surrounding nature.
The Tree (La Ceiba) Inspired by the Ceiba, a sacred symbol in Mayan cosmology, this vertical structure serves as the sculptural centerpiece of a four-story atrium. Its branches extend to connect with each level, culminating in a dome crafted from Tzalam wood. Engineered as a lightweight system using bamboo and tension cables, the structure features an intricate weave of natural materials, including bamboo, henequen, and bejuco vine. Hanging henequen lianas descend from the dome, creating the atmospheric sensation of resting beneath the canopy of an ancient tree. The Nest (El Nido) Drawing inspiration from the Mayan serpent, this spherical structure is formed by structural bamboo arches. The interior is lined with a woven bamboo strip skin, while the exterior features a secondary skin with a geometric pattern evocative of reptilian scales.
