Hilton Garden Inn Kraków Airport has undergone a significant metamorphosis thanks to the new arrangement of the ground floor, created by AKA Studio. The project, inspired by nature and the nearby Bielańsko-Tyniecki Landscape Park, introduces elements that please the senses into the hotel space, providing guests with a place to slow down and relax.
The new arrangements include the lobby, foyer, restaurant and conference rooms. Large spaces in the lobby are filled with carefully selected plants and lounge areas, creating a cozy atmosphere. The restaurant has been refreshed and enriched with new colors, and the conference rooms have been modernized to include modern audio-visual solutions.
