Photo gallery: meet the new Radisson hotel in BudaPart
As Áron Láncos, Senior Architect at MádiLáncos Studio, who led the project, explains, “Radisson Hotel Group has a complex and detailed brand book, which clearly shows the brand’s core values and what differentiates each member of the portfolio (Radisson Blu, Radisson Red, Park Plaza) from each other and from other hotels, and the brand book also explains how this should be reflected in the interior design and use of materials. In addition to international standards, a ‘couleur locale’ was also required, which allows designers to add their own ideas to the concept. Our work was monitored and reviewed by the company’s design team and the final concept was approved by the Radisson board.”
9400 square meters, 200 rooms, one skybar
Most of the rooms are standard double rooms, but there are also 24 larger suites and accessible rooms for disabled guests. The corner suite on each floor can be connected to an adjacent room, making it a perfect choice for families.
Guests can enjoy a co-working lounge, bar and restaurant on the ground floor. The latter serves breakfast in the morning and then operates as a restaurant for the rest of the day, also open to outside guests. Shanghai Kitchen is the hotel group’s own brand of Asian-European fusion cuisine.
On the gallery level, there are three meeting rooms and a large conference and event hall, which can be divided into two with a mobile wall, with state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment and full catering service. A skybar is located on the top floor
Industrial style, soft details
As Áron Láncos describes: “The design concept was inspired by the industrial history of the site, and this is reflected in the industrial character of the colors and materials used. We compensated the dark colors and metallic surfaces by using wood, textiles and warm lights,”.
The ground floor’s generous, fully glazed facade, two-level community space provided a lot of interesting interior design solutions, but also a challenge. The bookcase connecting the two levels next to the reception area is a striking yet cozy element.
A similarly dynamic element is the two-level lamellar wall covering the lifts from the entrance, reminding us of the Danube with its wave pattern. The interior designers selected the mobile furniture from the Basic Collection, mainly from the Italian manufacturer Calligaris. The hotel
project was also exceptional because the designers were involved in the selection and arrangement of pictures and decorative objects
Budapest within and beyond the walls
Both in the public spaces and in the rooms, the bridges and the most prominent buildings of Budapest are shown mainly on black and white photographs. Most of them are taken by photographer Bálint Álovits, the designers had the opportunity to work with him personally on this project.
The three large panels on the two-level wall of the restaurant are a visual allegory of the kitchen’s Far Eastern-Hungarian fusion, with a mixture of Eastern and Hungarian folk motifs.
BudaPart’s distinctive design concept and quality is consistently represented by the developer. These principles were also taken into account by the designers while planning the interior of the hotel. According to them it was an exciting challenge during the design process to come up with a concept that met the developer’s expectations, as well as the international standards of the hotel group’s brand and their own design principles.
