TWO FRIENDS, A HOSTEL AND A FATE.2060 is not a date. It proves that fate exists. It proves the best stories are born from two paths crossing. Like Sergio and Felipe’s story. Two people who started working together and they became kindred spirits. Two travel companions not separated by age, but united by dreams.2060 is not a hostel. It is the dream they both pursued for 11 years. Without fear, no strings attached, without weakening. When it became true, Sergio had run out of time. But wherever he is, he is smiling and thinking that it is true what they say: When you wish something from the heart, the planets align. And everything turns out well.2060 will forever be Sergio’s refuge. And everyone’s who understands that we are the time we have left. A refuge where everything has a meaning, thanks to many people fated to run into each other.** Design Chichinabo inc. for Wanna One.

THE BON VIVANT REFUGE.Creating a nice space is not enough. Nowadays, travellers (especially if they belong to the Millennial generation) feel adventurous, explorer or flaneur. Never a tourist. Used to the Airbnb culture, the new travellers also look for authenticity, connection and customization in hotels.This causes that in order to get to their hearts we must go further than expec-ted, in all areas. That is why 2060 goes beyond the sector codes. It looks for the unseen in comfortability, services, attention, atmosphere, design and of course, the experience itself. It becomes the host refuge as soon as they enter the door.In 2060 what truly matters is the shared wish of enjoying and squeeze the days. Because that is, more than a bond or something in common is soul matching.1 «The curated experience. Millennial-friendly hostels», WGSN, 2018.

Each one of them is our priority. And our goal: make them smile when they remember their stay and make them think about us if they come back to Madrid.We are an urban oasisWhere vegetation conquers spaces, surrounds the travellers and transport them to another universe. And where we save up to 40% of energy thanks to aero-thermy.Hacemos piña (Spanish expression for We stick together)Even Newton was more an apple person, we love our hosts to “hagan piña” and stick together. We try to make easy for them to know each other and share activities in the hostel, night plans, tours…PL. TIRSO DE MOLINACALLE CABEZA, 11CALLE DE LAVAPIÉSMM

THE END OF THE WORLD LEAVES ITS MARK.More than 300 years ago, Newton predicted the date of the end of the world. And that, believe it or not, leaves its mark. That is why 2060 is an invitation to living the life today.An invitation imagined, expressed and captured in the space by Felipe and Sergio, together with Wanna One, the studio in charge of the 360ºProject.Wanna One proposed a creative concept, placed away from the sector codes, clung to carpe diem and reinforced by a free, young and very esthetic visual universe.In essence, the Brand is minimalist and conceptual. It recalls the end of the world with a dividing line which remembers the skyline. The futuristic typography em-phasises the distance from the date and at the same time highlights the concept of modernity. The compositions of old printed illustrations and colour illustrations are very present in the interior proposal. Always remembering the brand origin: Newton is the past. 2060, the future.Therefore, 2060 turns out a ludic and dynamic space, perfect to rest, share and celebrate. A place where nature is present at all times and in multiple ways. Where senses are mobilised.Where every corner proposes a unique experience because all details have been consciously chosen. Altogether, in 2060 everything sums and has a motivation.

SPACES TO BE LIVED.HALL AND RECEPTIONThe lobby is open and gathers reception, dining room and boutique. It is a social and meeting space. It is a space where the staff look after the travellers happily, while someone is taking a look at the Boutique of the End of the World products, has a beer o just watches the people passing by. All of that wrapped in a joyful and young fragrance, thanks to the touches of fig.The urgency of living the moment is present from the moment you arrive until you leave 2060. In the front wall, there is a time counter marking the countdown.DINING ROOMIt is the hostel heart. A space alive 24 hours a day to talk, read, work, play, connect, eat… The furniture, very eclectic, adapts every moment needs.It is connected to the kitchen with two big french doors. A composition of opaque and translucent glasses separates it from the reception, making it intimate and comfortable.KITCHENReady for the foodies who want to show off and share their cooking skills; for travellers who want to socialize and also for the ones travelling on a budget.It is perfectly equipped and connects with the inner patio, in which the dense vegetation invites to relax and cook in peace.

SPACES TO BE LIVED.BUNKER According to a study from MMGY Global, Millenials are the generation who travel more for work. For them, every business trip is an opportunity to enjoy the bleisure (business and leisure).That is why this space is for them. If they wish to work, read quietly or talk until sunrise.SPAThe wellness options matter, very much, to 83% of Millennials. According to a StudyLogic and Marriott Hotel Group study, it is a decisive point when it comes to booking a room.As their wish is our command, in 2060 they find a space full of relaxing and bu-bbles, with a mint scent, which helps to disconnect, stimulates imagination and boosts wellness, after exploring the city.ROOFTOP BAREnjoying the view of the roofs and the sky of Madrid is a pleasure. Even more with a drink in your hand and in good company.

SPACES TO BE LIVED.ROOMS.A room is more than a place to recharge one’s batteries after a day full of emotions. 2060 rooms are designed to rest and dream big because every one of them accomplishes five key features:COMFORT: spacious bunk beds, easy to access and with interior dark green panels which help to relax.PRIVACY: a fixed panel isolates you from the rest of the hosts and gives the right privacy to sleep well.FUNCTIONALITY: every bunk bed has an individual adjustable light, wifi, mul-tiple sockets, a wall organizer and individual lockers.BRIGHTNESS: to optimize the entrance of natural light and get a more diapha-nous space, the bunk beds are placed on the walls.INTERACTIVITY: the ludic character of 2060 gets even in the bunk beds. You can interact with them and even incarnate Newton himself.Because no trip is similar to another one, 2060 offers rooms for everyone and all preferences:•For groups (max. 12) or for those who want to see new faces.•For small groups, only for women, for those looking for privacy or a bit shy. They have a private bathroom.•Rooms with private bathroom for families travelling together.

WE HAVE ART IN OUR BLOOD.It is not possible to live the moment if there is not an essential thing: art. That is why 2060 has counted on the participation of young artists and designers who, orchestrated by Wanna One, have created ad-hoc pieces for the hostel.The other elements (furniture, accessories and materials) have also been carefully chosen to create a unique and symbolic space.EXCLUSIVE CREATIONS FOR 2060Wanna OneConcept, design and interiors.Reception: counter and countdown clock design.Dining room: stool design.Rooms: Concept and bunk beds and lockers design.
