Perched on the 24th floor of Nhow Hotel Amsterdam, Selva Restaurant offers a culinary journey through Latin America, while Sonora Cocktail Bar serves bold, tropical cocktails. Both spaces feature organic shapes, natural materials, and vibrant colours, creating a lush, exotic atmosphere inspired by the tropical rainforest. In Selva, undulating benches help to zone the space, creating winding paths and softening the space's initial rigidity. Sonora's centrepiece, a curved bar resembling a golden idol from "El Dorado," shines amid green tones, lush vegetation, and aquatic patterns.
