The first of design hotels in Eastern Europe was the Hotel Josef. The discreet and elegant exterior façade, which separates the building horizontally into nine floors, blends in seamlessly with the surroundings. It forms a balanced pattern of windowed surfaces and spatial sun shading – a blend of natural colouring and glass.

This hotel consciously eliminates anything that might give it a historic look. On the contrary, steel and glass play the leading role that, together with the interior design, create an exceptional living and design experience.
