Meinger Cracow: A Symphony of Tradition and Modern Comfort

Magdalena Federowicz Boule's Award-Winning Hybrid Hotel Design

In the heart of Cracow, a new hybrid hotel concept emerges, blending the magic of local legends with the comfort of modern amenities, courtesy of designer Magdalena Federowicz Boule. Meinger Cracow, a Bronze A' Design Award winner, stands as a testament to innovation in hospitality.

Meinger Cracow is not just a hotel; it's a cultural immersion. The design draws from the city's rich history, incorporating the 'Flow of Creation' theme to capture the essence of adventure and memorable experiences. Federowicz Boule has skillfully woven local motifs into the hotel's fabric, such as the enchantment of Collegium Maius and the chessboard pattern, reminiscent of the city's vibrant street life.

The hotel's unique properties lie in its dual nature, serving both as a hotel and a hostel. This flexibility caters to a diverse clientele, from those seeking the privacy of double rooms to adventurers looking for shared dormitory spaces. The common areas, including a guest kitchen and games zone, foster a sense of community, allowing travelers to connect and share stories.

Technologically, the design incorporates custom carpets and wallpapers that resonate with the building's structure and thematic elements. The careful selection of materials and attention to detail in every aspect of the hotel's design ensures that the space is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, aligning with the needs and desires of a wide range of guests.

Located in the Grzegórzki district, the hotel's setting contributes to its magical atmosphere, integrating tradition, community, and nature. The project, which began in May 2021 and concluded in August 2023, demonstrates a commitment to creating a space that is deeply rooted in the locale's spirit while offering contemporary comforts.

Research and development were pivotal in the creation of Meinger Cracow. The design team delved into Krakow's traditions and contemporary activities to extract elements that would resonate with guests. The magic theme served as a unifying concept, allowing for a creative fusion of the hotel's various components. The result is a space that not only accommodates guests but also tells a story, enriching their stay with a sense of place and history.

In conclusion, Meinger Cracow stands as a beacon of design excellence, meriting its Bronze A' Design Award. It is a place where the 'Flow of Creation' is not just a slogan but a lived experience, where every detail is meticulously crafted to ensure guests leave with unforgettable memories. Federowicz Boule's vision for a hybrid hotel that harmonizes the old with the new has been realized, setting a new benchmark for hospitality design.
