Retrofitted Hotel Lobbies

The Old Mill Hotel Belgrade Sits Within a Newly Transformed Building

The Old Mill Hotel Belgrade is a recently completely project that saw the transformation of a historic city building into a 4-Star hotel. The new luxurious hotel boasts an epic lobby characterized by a wall of stacked granite stones created from materials salvaged from the building's former uses, as a mill.

By incorporating elements of the former buildings identity, the new Old Mill Hotel Belgrade is filled with life and charisma that is sure to translate into a relaxing space for guests.

The interior lobby design was also necessary for structural reasons, but the functional uses are endless. The wall becomes seating in certain areas of the lobby, while there are also references to the building's history in its inclusion of industrial wrought iron columns.
