What started as a project of problems and restrictions – from difficult architecture, to listing restrictions, low budgets and time constraints, became a success story beyond Client’s expectations.
Concept
All the architectural elements inherent in the building – low ceilings, beautiful arches on the ground floor, tiled stoves and a staircase with steps made of Putilov stone – have been preserved to convey its authentic atmosphere. The cumulus clouds of the St. Petersburg sky, the walls of historic buildings, the cream of freshly brewed frothy latte, and even a fluffy duvet. Calm in color, yet textured and warm to touch, the fabrics used at Glinz Hotel accentuate a homely feeling.
Multifunctional Common Area
The main “highlight” of the project is the multifunctional space of the ground floor of this small hotel
Rooms
Almost all the furniture in the rooms is designed by MEGRE INTERIORS. Bathrooms at Glinz have ample storage space and amenities.
