Project description

W Hotels Worldwide, part of Marriott International, redefined the concept of hospitality in Budapest in July with the opening of W Budapest. W Budapest offers 151 stylish rooms and suites and three innovative gastronomic concepts inspired by Budapest’s rich history, creativity and diversity. The hotel is housed in the iconic Drechsler Palace on the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Andrássy Avenue – the ornate building has been carefully restored and transformed by London-based Bowler James Brindley and interior designers Bánáti + Hartvig, drawing inspiration from the palace’s rich cultural history and its multifaceted identity as a former café, social hub and Hungarian State Ballet Institute.
Our lighting designers have implemented the concept of the Spanish lighting design company Artec Studio, designing the technical lighting for the public spaces and rooms, paying great attention to the fixtures to match the style of the spaces and provide optimal lighting for the various entertainers, with continuous engineering assistance throughout the implementation.
We are proud to have contributed to the eclectic, bold ambience of Budapest’s newest luxury hotel by providing luminaires.
