Design in the spotlight

15/09/2018

Do you prefer Kaliningrad, the capital of the Russian enclave between Poland and Lithuania, or Bucharest was also known as “the little Paris of the Balkans”? Whatever your choice, our Group will welcome you in its 2 new properties: Mercure Kaliningrad and ibis Styles Bucharest Erbas.

Remember… In November 2017, our Group already announced prestigious openings in Eastern Europe. AccorHotels was then arriving for the first time in Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Slovenia! Today, its leadership is growing with 2 renowned openings…

The impressive Mercure Kaliningrad (Russia) opened its doors last May, closely followed by the ibis Styles Bucharest Erbas (Romania) in July. Hotels with an atypical style and personality!

The country of tsars

The city of Kaliningrad is full of treasures: between visits to the Gothic cathedrals, the World Oceanographic Museum and walks on the sand dunes of the Curonian Spit National Park, you do not lack activities to punctuate your stays.

From the lobby to the rooms and catering areas, the entire hotel was designed by the local design & architecture studio: the Sundukovy Sisters. They have immersed themselves in the city’s culture to reflect it in the hotel’s design. For example, did you know that Kaliningrad was the birthplace of the writer Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffman, author of the tale “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King. “»? It goes without saying that the decoration of the Mercure Kaliningrad takes on the air of a fairy tale…

Its bar, restaurant, gym and sauna overlooking Upper Pond are waiting for you.

Style in Bucharest

The ibis Styles Bucharest Erbas is the brand’s first address in the Romanian capital! The hotel has moved into an existing building that has been completely redesigned by Alexandra Cosma, a young local designer.

On the construction theme, the design of the ibis Styles Bucharest Erbas is structured around 3 elements: materials, textures and signage. The challenge was to translate the world of construction into a design, energetic and playful environment. Successful bet!
