PETIT BOIS
Balatonfüred I interior architecture - execution I 2024
Lake Balaton, which is also the jewel of Hungary, has a significant tourism relevance and is therefore an important part of Hungarian development policy.
One of the prides of Balatonfüred, located near the lake is Rodostó villa built in 1908, has long been in need of renovation. After careful planning and reconstruction, it was finally reborn in 2024. While preserving its original architectural values it has opened as an elegant five-star hotel.
While preserving its original architectural values, it was opened as an elegant five-star hotel. The hotel is named after the small forest next to it.
The hotel’s interiors were designed by este’r partners and its architecture by ARX Architects, commissioned by the Laki group.
The villa has five elegant apartments on each floor, and the hotel also has three modern garden apartments. The interior architects have created an elegant and relaxed atmosphere in the arrival area, recalling in part the atmosphere of the turn of the century, when the town, known for its thermal waters, was a heyday for the nobility and citizens of the spa town. Balatonfüred’s protected plant, the anemone, is also featured in the wallpaper graphics. This symbol has been further developed by the graphic designer of the este’r partner, and the distinctive floral motif is also reflected in the room signage and inscription solutions.
In addition to the many original architectural elements – original stone cladding and old wooden windows – the interior designers have boldly used classic and contemporary interior design elements, including striking stucco or a combination of special materials to achieve a sophisticated effect.
In addition to the suites and rooms, the SPA area and the rooftop bar with its 180-degree panoramic view offer a special atmosphere.
The Petit Bois is not just a hotel, but an island of tranquillity and elegance where guests can immerse themselves in the harmony of luxury and nature.
