Success Story | Hotel Riu Plaza España Madrid

At the Riu Hotel – Plaza España, the integrated solutions are Novopeldaño® 4 Aluminum and Novopeldaño® MaxiTokyo.

The Riu Plaza España Hotel, located in one of Madrid’s most iconic buildings, required solutions capable of withstanding continuous traffic from guests, staff, and visitors, while maintaining a level of design consistent with its category.

At EMAC® Group, we supported the RIU hotel chain in this project by providing stair nosing solutions that enhance safety and comfort on the hotel’s main staircases, while blending elegantly into its contemporary style.

Installed solutions

Novopeldaño® 4 Aluminum

For this project, Novopeldaño® 4 Aluminum was selected—a stair nosing profile that combines protection, safety, and design in a single element. A discreet and effective solution that reinforces stair edges, extends their service life, and delivers a uniform finish in high-traffic areas.

  • Protects the stair edge against daily wear and tear.
  • Provides a safe and stable step for guests and staff.
  • Clean, elegant finish that integrates seamlessly into contemporary environments.
  • Durable profile, ideal for stairs subject to intensive use.

In a hotel of the caliber of Riu Plaza España, where aesthetics and durability must coexist, Novopeldaño® 4 Aluminum becomes a silent ally that ensures safe footing and preserves flooring quality day after day.

Novopeldaño® MaxiTokyo

The installation is completed with Novopeldaño® MaxiTokyo, a stair nosing with a large tread surface specifically designed for staircases with heavy traffic. Its geometry provides comfortable and stable footing, while its modern design adapts perfectly to the hotel’s aesthetic.

  • Wide tread surface for greater comfort and safety.
  • High resistance to continuous traffic and wear.
  • Modern design that adds a contemporary touch without disrupting spatial harmony.
  • Enhanced stability on every step, even during peak foot traffic.

In this project, Novopeldaño® MaxiTokyo combines functionality and design, complementing the hotel’s architecture and improving the user experience in one of the building’s busiest areas.

Safer staircases, more relaxed guests

The Riu Plaza España Hotel case is an example of how a technical solution can elevate the perception of quality in a hospitality space. The installed profiles work discreetly, protecting the flooring, enhancing safety, and delivering a carefully detailed finish.

At EMAC® Group, we continue to collaborate with major hotel chains to create spaces that are safer, more accessible, and more comfortable for everyone.
