Spanish term or phrase: acercamiento transparente
For a hotel description, want to find an English equivalent that sounds natural but that has the same meaning/feeling thanks

El edificio, completamente reformado y de nueva planta, respeta rigurosamente la integración del entorno natural alzándose en una soberbia construcción donde predomina el cristal, invitando al cliente al acercamiento transparente al Parque Natural de La Albufera, desde el interior de todas sus dependencias.

(offers guests) an enticing unrestricted view out over (the Albufera Natural Park)
Explanation:
"Transparente" suggests a number of possibilities, but I can't think of a natural way of rendering "acercamiento" directly. My suggestion is less imaginative than the original, but does at least sound natural (I think). It is a version of a fairly common formula in tourist and travel-agent descriptions. "Unrestricted" refers both to the open view through clear windows and the sense of being in close contact with the natural setting. "Enticing" is designed to capture "acercamiento", accentuated by "out" (implying "towards"). "Over" suggests breadth.

Hope this helps.

Should be "offering guests"

Perhaps better in the plural: "enticing unrestricted views out over"

(offering) sweeping views


Explanation:
I interpret "transparente" here as "unrestricted".
If you want to use the concept of "acercamiento" I would then say:
"will bring the client close to the surrounding park".
If you want to combine both, it could be "offering sweeping views which will bring you close to (the surrounding park)...
But I believe the first option sounds more stylish.

transparent views


Explanation:
To discover through the (transparent glass) that can be seen in the surroundings
The author is playing with the words. (...invitando al cliente al acercamiento transparente al...) (lit. Inviting clients to see a transparent landscape or rather a landscape that appears transparent as one looks through the window panes.
To me acercamiento relates to the surroundings one sees as in a close up, such as the Albufera Natural Park.
