After careful planning and reconstruction, the building will finally be reborn this year to open its doors as an elegant, five-star hotel preserving the original architectural values. este’r partners, responsible for the interior design, now shows some of the details of the villa on visual plans.
On the Szervita Square of Budapest, at the place of the former telephone centre, the investor Biggeorge Property dreamt the Emerald Residence Apartments and boutique hotel in a strong architectural unit with the Church of St. Anne, offering of the most precious estates of the city. Responsible of the project’s interior design concept is este’r partners.
The interior design team led the iconic emerald colour of the Residence through the internal spaces which, combined with geometric surfaces and materials, appears with an elegance worthy of gemstones. Emerald velvets encounter champagne colours, metals and shiny marbles rich in veins, which is complemented by the use of natural walnut wood, and the game of mirrors.
Art’otel Budapest – belonging to the international “Park Plaza Hotels” corporation with its main office in London – is a beautifully located hotel a few steps away from the famous Chain Bridge directly on the right bank of the Danube opposite to the Hungarian Parliament. The hotel comprises a modern complex and at its back four baroque buildings which have been reconstructed and retain their original beauty. Being the first lifestyle hotel in the region it is also renowned for exhibiting the artworks from Donald Sultan, a famous American artist.
The services of the four-star hotel on Lake Balaton: beach, indoor swimming pool with a tensioned water mirror, jacuzzi, Finnish sauna, salt therapy infrared cabin, light therapy sauna, steam room, fitness and condition room, tennis court, massage, hairdresser, beauty salon, table tennis, small football serve active relaxation and recreation. The hotel has a Type 2 car charger for electric cars with 2 x 22KW.
The house was built in 1918, the structure and the interior shows many industrial influences as origingally a sewing manufacture worked there. During the design process we kept many of these industrial elements – steel beams, brick walls – which gave the mood of the hotel with a “loft feeling”, and softened it with textiles and carpets.
The centerpiece of each room the uniquely designed “floating” bed, the LED lighting under it to be installed to highlight this effect. In each room a custom-made divider separate the space for the living and the bathroom area and also a dominant element the headboard that is having a different colour-scheme in each room.
In the historical building we installed the latest architectural, plumbing and electrical technology that shows for example in the corridor where we closed the ceiling only with a net. The pipes can be seen together with the ceiling lamps that is also create a strong effect of the hotel interior.

Despite its austere decor, the overall image of the A52/Andrássy út 52 Hotel remains sporty and balanced. Geometric patterns keep returning – a good example is the original checkerboard patterned tiling in the corridors, which the designers have retained to give a rhythmic feel to the public spaces. While black and white predominate outside, the interiors are dominated by grey and red, grey and green and grey and blue motifs that draw the guest’s eye to the carpet, which, together with the asymmetrical wall painting, gives the interiors a sense of unity.
Andrássy street 3 is the so-called Saxlehner Palace, whose interiors are made grandiose by the frescoes of the famous painter Károly Lotz.
Our interior designers use classical, understated motifs to guide the visitor through the richly decorated (from the façade or common rooms) to the classically styled hotel rooms. The interiors are characterised by the use of copper-framed mirrors and shades of burgundy, mauve, olive green and deep blue. The wellness area houses a custom-designed fountain from which different types of water (bitter water, thermal water) can be sampled and compared.
Hotel Lycium**** is located in the heart of Debrecen, Hungary. It welcomes mainly guests who traveling by business reasons.Our design concept was built on this atmosphere but besides we considered the functions and elegance of all the spaces, created a cosy feeling of the hotel.
We were rethinking and redesigning the lobby area that we divided to smaller areas, highlighted some islands with furniture, and gave a function to the exsisting columns.
Also we redesigned the rooms where creating the cosy and comfortable feeling was the leading line in our concept. The plan is functional, logical and serve all the comfort in harmony with the whole hotel.
As a part of the city rehabilitation program, a 5* hotel is going to be built in Timisoara, Romania and becoming a part of the Radisson Blu international chain. Our studio have got the comission to take a part on the tender of creating the design concept and complete interior design for the planned, brand-new hotel. The building contains two floor of public spaces, nine floors of hotel rooms, roof terrace and skybar. During the design process we taken into account that the hotel is targeting the business turism and will be part of the international chain that has certain design and quality requirements. At the same time we added some references of the local history and characteristic of the city as well.
