Future Boutique Hotel Room by HOTELIA 2016

“MINAS KOSMIDIS – Architecture in Concept” designed a new concept for a spacious suite of approximately 50 square meters located in an upscale city boutique hotel. The main aspects that differentiate a boutique hotel from a strictly commercial hotel – probably member of a multinational hotel chain, are the facts that it is autonomous, its dimensions are relatively reduced; it is luxurious and most importantly, it is characterized by a unique concept which defies the rules and pays attention to detail.

The basic idea has been based on the aesthetics of the James Bond movies. Consequently, the concept was determined by a sense of mystery, luxury, seduction, as well as by the use of hotel automation and the latest technological tricks. Moreover, a principal goal of this endeavor has been the introduction of new technologies, such as automations regarding the lighting and signage of hotel rooms. The composition of the floor plan of the suite is pretty unconventional, due to the fact that the separation of sub-spaces doesn’t follow the traditional rules.

“MINAS KOSMIDIS – Architecture in Concept” tried to introduce the principal idea of how city boutique hotels of the future should aim to. The proposal focuses primarily on entrepreneurs who wish to renovate or open a new luxurious city hotel of particular architectural character, which will turn into a destination; a destination that will not just cover the basic needs of the modern traveler but it will be one of the main motives in order to visit the city in which it is located.

With the use of materials such as velvet fabrics, marble, walnut wood, bronze, the accompanying music, video projection and special air of freshness, the architectural practice attempted to stimulate all visitors’ senses, thus creating a holistic travel experience where the hotel is transformed into a pole of diverse functions and feelings.
