The design of the hotel brings together the two sides of the city, Buda and Pest, celebrating the rich heritage of both while playing with the juxtaposition. This has inspired a ‘second skin’ design narrative for the new hotel, which creates an intriguing interplay between materials in every location. From soft layering and alluring oversized archways to the use of metallic meshing to create depth and intrigue in the bedrooms, the second skin aesthetic creates spaces that reveal new depths each time you experience them. The Houdini-inspired illusion comes to life at W Budapest’s AWAY SPA, where mirrors and water features create a feeling of never-ending space and serenity. Hidden doors lead to secret spaces, where guests can seek solace from the bustling city and enjoy moments of calm and relaxation.
