Right in the heart of the city, the SiR Hotels opened SiR Nikolai Hamburg, located at the historic Nikolaifleet canal. Like all other 4 SiRs, this hotel aims to be much more than a ‘where to stay’ option, as it is involved with the city’s history, culture and personality. It aims to be an experience of Hamburg through its architecture, interior design, restaurant, bar and library.

The first SiR Hotel was founded in 2013 in Amsterdam by Liran Wizman. Within four years, the SiRs are already five, between two in Amsterdam, SiR Albert and SiR Adam, one in Berlin, SiR Savigny, one in Ibiza, SiR Joan and the most recent SiR Nikolai in Hamburg. This a chain of boutique hotels that allows the visitors the true experience of each city and is managed by EHPC, the award-winning management company European Hotels Private Collection.
SiR Nikolai stands on a seven-storey building with 94 rooms and the best facilities for the guests: from The Studio, a lounge to check-in, The Patio, a glass-roofed courtyard that invites people to the IZAKAYA Asian Kitchen & Bar and then to the open kitchen of the restaurant and the 360-bar with two balconies that float over the canal. Besides all this, it also has a 300sqm spa, which includes a gym, an indoor pool, a sauna and various other treatment rooms for the guest to relax and enjoy.
All the spaces of the hotel were thought out and designed by the Dutch design studio FG Stijl that collaborated with Circle Culture, a platform that features international artwork, activism and culture projects. The project is also associated with GCH Hotel Group, one of the top hotel management companies in Europe. With more than 120 hotels in Germany, Austria and Belgium, the group manages over 15 500 rooms and over three million guests annually.
SiR Nikolai offers wide, open and highly sophisticated spaces, from the corridor to the common areas and all the way to each one of the 94 rooms. This luxurious hotel features high-end furniture pieces such as the MALAY and the SIKA Armchairs from BRABBU, the Collins from Essential Home or the extraordinary Turner Floor from DelightFULL.
The MALAY Armchair was brought to life through the different ethnicities of the world. It is a graceful green velvet armchair with a mystical soul that will fulfil any room with energy from nature. It is a strong piece that speaks in the amazing suite where is placed.
The SIKA Armchair is a blend of strength and elegance inspired by a deer specimen rooted in Japan. The most distinctive features of SIKA wingback chair are its wildness and protection features, which make you feel comfortable and sophisticated. It goes spectacular in SiR Nikolais common area, and it serves as an invitation for a nice and pleasant get together while enjoying the entire design of the space and hotel itself.
The timeless furniture pieces embrace the spirit of the hotel and add personality, filling each room with a different feeling of modernity and culture. It is the entire combination of concepts high-quality handmade design products, placed in such a historical city, that make SiR Nikolai the incredible monument that it is.
SiR Nikolai, as are the other SiRs, is a celebration of life and what exists to make it better. The professionalism and greatness of the minds behind the creation are notable and admirable. The design team perceives itself as passionate about the art:
“Designed for people – perhaps an obvious sentiment, but one that is often forgotten in an era when design saturates day-to-day life. For FG Stijl Interior Design, designing for people was a seedling idea from which sprung countless three-dimensional experiences, and now, more than a decade on, it is the expression of our interior design company’s DNA”.
Both philosophies of the team and the concept of the hotel are in consonance to provide the best and trustworthy experience of each individual place and city to each one of the guests. The experience provided by SiR Nikolai’s design is absolutely incredible and the proof is its nominations for the Interior Design of the Year: International project award within the CID Awards 2017 by DesignMENA and the AHEAD Europe Awards by Sleeper Magazine for URBAN HOTEL-CONVERSION.

As for accessories and lighting fixtures, designers opted for simplicity and minimalism, which makes the synthesis between nature and artifice, completing this new salon. CYRUS Wall Light by BRABBU was the perfect choice for this restyling project.
The reception desk is made with different materials, such as white Corian and wood with raw bark effect, which delineate the functions of this space. Two artworks, a marble sculpture by Sophie Elizabeth Thompson and a painting by Giovanni Lombardini, complete this reception area.
For the floorings, a marble with a strong decorative impact and with earthy colours was selected to create a magical balance between signs and colours. To give even more focus to this area, a charcoal bush-hammered stone was laid along the perimeter.
In order to highlight the hotel’s excellent location, the walls were lined with gilded ceramic plates with the same sheen of silk. The pieces of furniture chosen are covered in shades of flowers, yellow, green and blue; leather armchairs with wraparound lines and walnut tables made by skilled craftsman make up this entry.

Hotel Terme di Saturnia was designed by the firm THDP with the intent of being a natural wellness and retreat hotel. With the beautiful Tuscan countryside surrounding the hotel, Terme di Saturnia is a luxury golf and spa resort, with the Le Cascate del Mulino waterfall and the Village of Saturnia right in its vicinity.
See Also: Chateau de Drudas, An Historical Monument Turned Hotel
THDP, the design firm behind the refurbishing of both the guest rooms and public areas, drew inspiration from natural elements: earth, air, water and other elements such as light and temperature. THDP used terms such as reflection, corrosion, erosion, layering, ripples to create the visual and emotional language of the interior design.
Light installations with glass spheres were created by Gomiero, who created the same reflection of water on the walls with this design. Le Cascate del Mulino waterfalls were the inspiration for the lobby and lounge area, created together with local artisans who have created oxidised tables and bronzed handles and with experienced craftsmen who work metals in a contemporary way, using the liquid to transform them into corroded metals, as well as sulphur dense water.
The selection of four colour palettes resulted from the observation of the resort’s surroundings. The colours have been declined in diverse shades in line with the different areas, from the reception with the ethereal hues of the Le Cascate del Mulino waterfalls to the patio with the central olive tree embodying the Tuscan countryside, up to the bright tones of turquoise and petrol blue of the handmade glazed terracotta tiles of the bar counter coating, found after a long search, in the colour ‘The Fondale’, from Pecchioli Fierenze.
In order to maintain an ideal continuity with the classic and elegant original style, but more importantly, with the conscious intention to adhere to a sustainable approach to renovations, some wooden furnishings have been preserved both in rooms and common spaces. The hotel Terme di Saturnia sits above Italy’s most famous thermal spring dating back 3,000 years, is naturally a safe and quiet place that is conducive to wellbeing since entering a new era of wellness.
THDP is known for creating enduring concepts that evolve into compelling hotels and restaurants. The studio creates winning and beautiful hotels that thrive in their local culture and heritage.

As we pass the entrance in neutral pastel colours, our eyes are caught by the original locks and mouldings from three centuries ago. In the hall, a beautiful beige HERMES Sofa from the Portuguese brand BRABBU completes the interior design with its modern presence and truly embodies the Hotel’s atmosphere.
On the left of the Hall, we find a terrific restaurant – le Verdurier – located on the ancient ballroom of the castle and managed by the prestigious starred chef Eric Sampietro. A splendid chandelier and beautiful decorative wall lights brighten the restaurant with a glamorous but romantic light.
It is possible to have a relaxing moment and take a peaceful break at one of the Salons. The first one is the Salon du Potager – a calm and friendly space that sets the visitor’s mind free while offering a comfortable stay. A rotisserie and a bread wood oven give all their charm to this place. The second one – the Salon Résseguier – shows off a more professional side but with the same peace and comfort. The tomettes on the floor are the original ones and a beautiful chandelier imposes itself on the middle of the room.
The hotel pleases the visitors’ eyes with large prestigious stairs that manifest an authentic reinassent experience while guiding them to the rooms. There are 23 bedrooms, including six duplex suites decorated in an unmistakably 18th-century style with a few modern touches. They offer all the modern comforts and benefits from a high-quality renovation in line with the demanding criteria required for Historic Monuments.

The creator of this small gem is Laurent Maugoust, a renown Parisian architect, with his studio – Laurent Maugoust Achitecture Intérieure. In 2018, Laurent’s studio was looking for the best furniture products to furnish this hotel at the most eccentric quarter of the French Capital, the 16th Quarter. The studio found the Covet Paris Showroom, a place full of world top luxury brands, showcasing a wide range of products within mid-century, modern, contemporary, and classic styles.
Inside the showroom, a brand stood out for the studio: BRABBU with timeless design products inspired by nature, the cosmopolitan lifestyle, and culture. The studio couldn’t think of better options to create an exclusive reception décor, after finding MAYA armchair and KOI side table. The entrance of the Hotel Victor Hugo is composed of a black art-deco inspired screen in a floral pattern, that fits very well with the contemporary design and colour of the two yellow MAYA velvet armchairs.

The Mitsui Kyoto Hotel was built on the site of the original residence of the Kitake, the executive branch of the Mitsui family, being in front of the Nijō-jo Castle in the city centre. Designed to embrace Japan’s beauty, the hotel also pays tribute to the rich history of Kyoto, a city beautifully preserved in a particular time and place, and still distinctively modern.
See Also: Sofitel Frankfurt Opera, Combining French Charm & Frankfurt Culture
The Mitsui Kyoto Hotel has the typical harmony between the natural environment, scenery and history, bringing you to the guests from the moment they step into the hotel until the very end. Built on the family home of the Mitsui Family, the designers kept a number of relics from the family in the modern design, such as the main gate, landscape features and stone lanterns, giving a new breath of life into the heritage and legacy of the site.
The Mitsui Fudosan Group is concentrating all of its efforts to build the ultimate luxury hotel brand in Japan, with Mitsui Kyoto Hotel serving as the new flagship property. Standing imposingly at the entrance to Mitsui Kyoto Hotel, the Kajiimiya Gate has a history stretching back over 300 years and a long-standing connection with the Mitsui family. The gate has been lovingly restored to its former glory.
Beautiful gardens are an indispensable part of Kyoto’s scenery. The seasons elapse as the year passes; light elapses as the day passes. A garden looks different every time you look at it; a changing reflection of nature itself. The Mitsui Kyoto Hotel garden is located at the centre of the property and was recreated by the designer Shunsaku Miyagi.
The SHIKI-NO-MA room is a modern reconstruction – using Japanese cypress – of the original Okusho-in from the former residence. The new SHIKI-NO-MA may be used as a private dining facility for the hotel’s restaurants. The spirit of teioku ichinyo (a term used to describe the harmony between structures and gardens) is alive and well – one can feel it walking from the entrance into the lobby and further into the lounge area; the same goes for the courtyard garden and its suiban water basin. Several stone lanterns and garden rock features have been given a new lease of life in the hotel garden; the colour of the grasses, the aroma of the flowers, the sound of the wind and the water, the chirruping of the insect life all serve to mark the passing of the seasons.
The culinary team at FORNI pay their respects to the tradition of handmade dishes. Italy has a rich and bountiful nature – a wonderful source for delicious fresh ingredients – something it shares with Kyoto. Here guests can experience all of the 24 distinct terms of the solar calendar through flavourful dishes made from the freshest Italian and locally-sourced Kyoto ingredients.
The beautiful Japanese garden at Mitsui Kyoto Hotel really puts on a show across the four seasons – the breathtaking beauty of sakura cherry blossoms in the spring, summer is resplendently verdant, the colours of autumn are so striking, and in winter the snowscape is a wonder to behold. From THE GARDEN BAR, one can relax, unwind and enjoy unparalleled views of the garden in the dusk, and as the light fades the scenery is gently uplit.
