Hamburg-based interior architecture and design practice JOI-Design wraps up a brilliantly successful 2016 with a rollcall of additional honours for its world-class hospitality projects defined by their imaginative concepts, luxurious design and sophisticated details. The studio was commended for three very different concepts: Hotel Reichshof Hamburg CURIO Collection by Hilton scored for its clever bridge between traditional and contemporary styles; the launch of Mercedes-Benz Living @ Fraser in London’s Kensington, a fusion between the automobile brand’s streamlined style and the functionality required by luxury serviced apartments; and Capri by Fraser Frankfurt for the highly tailored design created for the debut of this Asian group into Germany’s market for long-stay residences.

Hotel Reichshof Hamburg CURIO Collection by Hilton
Chosen from amongst 31 European competitors, the Hotel Reichshof Hamburg CURIO Collection by Hilton was celebrated with the Hotel Property Award 2016, the annual prize presented to JOI-Design at the hotelforum gala dinner in October. Andreas Martin, managing partner of hotelforum management GmbH, praised the project, “The revitalization of this listed former grand hotel with its long tradition, built in the Art Déco style, opened in 1910 and located opposite the central Hamburg railway station, has not only produced a convincing overall result but has also led to a positive rejuvenation of the surrounding area from an urban development point of view.”
