The stylish and impressive interiors of the luxurious lifestyle Andaz Prague hotel from the Hyatt chain combine refined design with art. The designer duo Maria Brime and Garrett Robbins were inspired not only by history, but also by Prague myths and legends, with such characters as princess Libuše or Golem. The design preserves and highlights the historical segments of the former Sugar Palace while emphasizing the identity of Prague. Individual allegorical elements, such as the original reliefs in the shape of a lion's head reflecting the legend of Bruncvík or Art Nouveau elements depicting the past of the building, were created by Czech craftsmen.
"Our recent victory at the SBID International Design Awards 2022, along with the third place at International Architecture & Design Awards 2022, is a great honor for us," said Garrett Robbins and Maria Brime, founders of Brime Robbins. "The Andaz Prague project means a lot to us, we put our heart into it when designing it. We have shared our passion and sense of community with partners UBM and Hyatt and now with Prague, the Czech Republic and the world. Winning the competition confirms how important it is to create something very human. Andaz Prague emphasizes the impact of storytelling on our lives, no matter where you come from. We enjoyed finding ways to tell stories of Prague and the Czech Republic, but also creating moments to pause and reconnect with something inside that some didn't even know was there."
