The Mexico-based bar serves [classic and sophisticated beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-of-dreams-cocktail-menu) to an exclusive client list while being inconspicuous to passersby. The Xaman Bar is secluded and dark with little signage to draw in consumers. The interior of the bar is combined with a [lounge area](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-aladdin-sane) and is decorated with various pieces of lush foliage. The idea for the bar is to present consumers with a divine experience that will eliminate any negative associations projected from the building's exterior. The interior's lights hang overhead and are filtered through wooden pillars. There is also a wall-sized mural that is illuminated by the lights to provide guests with a nebulous landscape. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Luxury Basement Bars:** Designing basement bars that provide an elevated and exclusive experience for upscale clients. - **Exclusive Client Lists:** Creating a demand for businesses that cater to an elite clientele who desire premium experiences. - **Lush Interior Foliage:** Incorporating natural elements in interior design to create a calming and refreshing atmosphere for guests. ### Where This Applies - **Hospitality:** Using interior design to create unique and exclusive experiences that cater to high-end clientele. - **Luxury Lifestyle:** Providing upscale products and services that cater to clients looking for luxurious experiences and exclusivity. - **Interior Design:** Creating unique and aesthetically pleasing environments by incorporating innovative design concepts and natural elements like foliage. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Luxurious Bar Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cravan-cocktail-bar.md) - [Moody Cocktail Bar Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-sun.md) - [Subterranean Social Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/william-vale-hotel.md) - [Nostalgic Sleek Sky Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peridot-bar.md) - [Cozy Neighborhood Bar Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jacs-on-bond.md) - [Rooftop Bar Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tonana.md) - [Sea-inspired Bar Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/civico-29.md) - [Smart Mixology Speakeasies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barsys-speakeasy.md) - [Next-Gen Whiskey Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bulleit-limitless-lounge.md)
