The challenge was to transform a well established business hotel and give a new boutique style image. The "Lively Metropolis" design concept was inspired by mutualism and energy, incorporating subtle curved lines with yellow dancing orchids. New illuminated curved staircases and modern chandelier modular combine to create a vivid centre piece of the double ceiling in the entrance lobby. All seating were designated in a pool like fashion with sleek lines furniture. The whole atmosphere is given a warm feel using contrasting neutral shades with sharp yellow dancing orchid as accents.
