Radisson RED: Art and Interior Comfort

Radisson RED is a brand renowned for its bold design and emphasis on unique aesthetic experiences. The interiors of the new properties are dominated by shades of red, grey, and black, which, combined with olive accents and American walnut wood elements, create a unique space.

“The interiors are adorned with local details in the brand’s distinctive style, such as graphics depicting Krakow motifs and a sculpture of the Wawel dragon in a RED interpretation.” – explains Kamil Kowalik, the interior concept author and project coordinator from GD&K Consulting.

A standout feature of the hotel, capturing attention from the moment guests enter the lobby, is the atrium space that extends to the full height of the building, equipped with panoramic elevators and a spectacular light installation comprising 170 openwork lamps.

Technical and Implementation Challenges

The implementation of the investment was based on continuing the construction of existing structures, which were in a closed shell state, and adapting them to the standards set by the Radisson RED brand and the design guidelines.

“Despite carefully conducting inventories of the buildings in terms of their technical and visual condition, as well as analysing the as-built documentation, numerous implementation challenges arose. The response to these challenges was both effective cooperation amongst the participants in the process and the flexible and constructive approach of the Investor.” – summarises Alicja Maziarz, Cost Management Director at G2J Consulting, which provided cost control and multidisciplinary investor supervision services.

Another significant challenge was organising the construction site in a way that would not disrupt the operations of the other facilities within the UNITY CENTRE complex.
