About CP Budapest Hotel

CP Budapest is an interior design project for a hotel on the Pest side of Budapest, near the Nyugati train station and the Westend City shopping mall. The work involved the modernisation and rebranding of an existing hotel building with 230 guest rooms. The lobby and the Axis bar are colourful and eclectic, recalling the nineteenth century train station nearby. The restaurant, corridors and guest rooms use calmer earthy tones, such as terracotta, beige and green. The interiors connect with the surroundings and welcome both hotel guests and local visitors.

Research: This project is a symbol of the combination of the beauty of the journey, vibrant and busy life of the city and Hungarian wineries traditions. The essential part was to correspondent interiors with the exterior - its elements, colours and views, creating timeless connection filled with textures and colours referring to the neighbourhood.

Interiors of the lobby and bar are lively, full of colours and eclectic. It refers to historical train station Nyugati built by Eiffel Company in nineteenth century.

Nature and neighbourhood blend with interior which give the space cosy and welcoming atmosphere. It invites people from the outside to enter and enjoy glass of wine in ground floor bar Axis. For the Investor, it was a very important to design the interiors in such a way to create a vibrant place, not only for the guests of the hotel, but also for the local community. The goal was to create a new trendy meeting place on the map of the Hungarian capital.
