Located in the very heart of Belgrade, this contemporary 4-star bed & breakfast hotel has been carefully designed to combine functionality, architectural quality, and contextual sensitivity. The building accommodates two underground garage levels containing parking facilities, technical rooms, storage areas, and all supporting service spaces required for efficient hotel operations.
The low ground floor serves as the primary entrance level, providing both pedestrian and vehicular access directly from Takovska Street. This level accommodates the hotel reception, lobby, and the entrance to the commercial areas of the building, creating a welcoming and highly functional arrival experience for guests and visitors alike.
Above the entrance level, a mezzanine gallery houses the restaurant, serving kitchen, and dedicated business facilities, offering flexible spaces for both leisure and corporate guests. The accommodation section extends over six typical floors and a recessed top floor, providing 57 elegantly appointed guest rooms. Each accommodation unit is equipped with high-quality contemporary furniture, premium materials, and carefully selected fittings to ensure comfort, durability, and the level of service expected from an international four-star hotel.
The architectural concept responds to the complexity of introducing a contemporary hospitality building into the historic urban fabric of Belgrade's central core. The design intentionally combines modern architectural expression with refined materials such as natural stone, glass, and metal, creating a timeless appearance while respecting the surrounding cityscape.
Particular attention has been devoted to the building's proportions, façade composition, and detailing. The interplay between solid stone surfaces and expansive glazed areas creates a balanced architectural rhythm, while carefully considered material selections emphasize elegance, transparency, and permanence. These qualities, together with the building's restrained yet sophisticated aesthetic, establish a distinctive identity that immediately captures attention.
One of the greatest design challenges—and ultimately the defining feature of the project—was achieving a harmonious dialogue between the existing structure and the newly introduced architectural interventions. Preserving the authenticity and character of the original façades, integrating them with the contemporary additions, and ensuring that the entire composition fits naturally within the surrounding urban environment required a highly considered and sensitive design approach.
The location of the future hotel in itself presented a challenge regarding organizational and technical issues. Takovska Street, very busy with traffic throughout the day, and the little space available outside the building required good planning and organization of the construction process. Setting up a 36 meter tall crane required stopping traffic during evening hours with the participation and support of city municipal enterprises. Our company has successfully completed all these tasks through good preparations and responsible engineers at the construction site.
The construction itself started with the driving of piles, the casting of a capping beam and excavation of earth down to two underground levels. The structure of this commercial facility is a massive system with reinforced concrete beams and slabs.
To our great pleasure, the construction of the concrete structure was completed an entire month before schedule. This was the result of the high levels of engagement and knowledge of all our colleagues that ran the entire project professionally.
The installation works and all other works planned started in parallel with the construction of this massive structure.
The building is currently in its final phase, with paint work under way, and the fitting of the interior of the hotel will soon begin.
The interior was elaborated in our company’s design bureau, fully in line with the investor’s requirements.Energy efficiency was achieved through good design solutions and use of the latest equipment and materials.
In this splendid building, Belgrade will have another hotel that best presents the art of design and construction, to the great satisfaction of both investor and contractor. We believe that the historic location and modern implementation will become a winning combination for the future popularity of this hotel, and its lustre will contribute to the strong metropolitan aura of Belgrade.
