Crowne Plaza Warsaw HUB Hotel Interior Design

Golden A' Design Award Winner 2021

Magdalena Federowicz-Boule's interior design for the Crowne Plaza Warsaw HUB Hotel represents a distinguished achievement in contemporary hospitality design, demonstrating how thoughtful material selection and spatial choreography can elevate the experience of arrival and dwelling within a commercial environment. The designer appears to have drawn upon traditions of mid-century modern furniture design, evidenced in the sculptural organic forms of the lounge seating, while integrating these historical references within a thoroughly contemporary architectural envelope characterized by industrial honesty and transparent connectivity to the urban context. The sophisticated chromatic strategy builds upon a foundation of warm neutrals, establishing amber, copper, and caramel tones as dominant voices while introducing cool gray and charcoal as supporting counterpoints that prevent the palette from becoming cloying. Particularly noteworthy is the treatment of the vertical metal screen, which functions simultaneously as spatial divider, visual rhythm generator, and frame for the pendant light installation, demonstrating how a single architectural element can serve multiple compositional and experiential purposes. The lighting design merits special attention, with pendant clusters arranged in seemingly organic configurations that evoke natural phenomena, perhaps constellations or flowering branches, while providing practical illumination for the social zones below. The exposed concrete columns assert structural presence without apology, their industrial character tempered by the surrounding warmth of copper accents and velvet upholstery, suggesting a design philosophy that embraces material authenticity. The marble flooring, with its subtle veining and reflective surface, contributes to the sense of refined luxury while serving practical durability requirements inherent to high-traffic hospitality environments. One might observe how the composition guides visitors through a sequence of spatial experiences, from the more public zones near the glazed entry to increasingly intimate seating clusters arranged around the perimeter. What qualities of contemporary hospitality does this environment embody, and how might the interplay of warmth and transparency influence the experience of travelers seeking both connection and refuge?

The architect designed the interior of public areas and hotel rooms located in the Crowne Plaza hotel in Warsaw in accordance with the standards of the IHG brand. The design of Crowne Plaza Hotel has been prepared for the Warsaw HUB building in Warsaw, in Wola district. That project is a multifunctional complex of two skyscrapers joined by a bridge. Interior of this hotel is unique. Interior of the hotel combines elegance but cosy, nature but satisficated and also vibrant feel – mix of gold, wood, marble, green and the emerald fabric as the colors of Warsaw and Vistula.
