The London-based architecture and interior design studio drew inspiration from both the hotel’s immediate surroundings for its interior aesthetic as well as references to poetic Czech modernism prevalent in the area.

The movement, which was heavily influenced by avant-garde artist and architectural writer Kerel Teige, is characterised by its marked use of colour, texture and more playful elements.
