Creating architectural coziness in large hotels is a non-trivial task. In most cases, I get the feeling that you’re in a comfortable, but impersonal space. Mini-complexes with a few rooms handle this task much more effectively. Less space means more attention to detail. Another distinctive feature of mini-hotels is their ease of integration into natural environments (city, forest, mountains), without disrupting, and sometimes even highlighting, these settings.

The theme of hotel architecture is specific but interesting. With this note, I wanted to give a small preview of an upcoming article with the director of one of the Radisson hotels, where the aforementioned thesis about the environment is the main aspect, without which a modern hotel cannot exist.

P. S. Even though I didn’t find cactuses, maracas, and sombreros on the wall in the photo, it made me think of Mexico. That’s exactly how it should work.
