It is always a special pleasure for Coninvest to work with a returning partner and a well-known interior design concept, even if the task is on a smaller scale. The Three Corners Hotel Anna Budapest is the younger member of the Three Corners hotel chain. The interior designer here is Csilla Kelemen, as at the Three Corners Avenue Hotel, but the focus is different, as the younger clientele predicted more intensive use, which required maximum durability.
Target audience: the younger generation wanted active spaces
The positioning of Three Corners Hotel Anna Budapest was clear from the outset. Due to its three-star category, downtown location, and value for money, the hotel specifically targets young guests. This required a different approach to interior design and furnishings than a classic city hotel.
Here, the communal spaces are not “just” breakfast rooms. They also function as a lobby, a communal space, an occasional event venue, and an informal meeting point. This required furniture that is mobile, versatile, durable, and yet still cozy.
Use of materials: uncompromising durability
One of the most important elements of the interior design concept was the choice of materials. In the case of the Three Corners Hotel Anna Budapest, the request was clear: maximum wear resistance, easy cleaning, and long life.
Accordingly, the following were used:
- a conscious combination of plastic, metal, and wood surfaces,
- highly wear-resistant textiles,
- and materials with a natural look but designed for public use.
As Csilla emphasized, there was no option for a “cheap solution” here either: “This clientele uses the spaces intensively. This requires furniture that can withstand it.”
Coninvest’s role: functionality and flexibility
During the project, one of Coninvest’s greatest added values was its wide selection and functional thinking. When furnishing the community space, the key considerations were that:
- the furniture should be movable and stackable,
- it should be easy to rearrange for different events,
- it should serve as breakfast, lobby, and “semi-outdoor” (terrace-style) furniture.
The furniture has a youthful yet timeless character, which fits well with the spirit of the hotel.
Renovation, not starting from scratch: what works can stay
What is interesting about the project is that the lobby area was not completely redesigned: an interior design concept from about six years ago was updated. This clearly shows how important it is in the hotel industry to renovate every 5–6 years.
The positive experience was that:
- much of the previous furniture was still in perfect condition,
- it did not need to be replaced, only supplemented,
- the new elements could be organically connected to the existing ones.
This type of update is not only more sustainable, but also an economically conscious solution.
Something we can be proud of
The Three Corners Hotel Anna Budapest project is a good example of how size does not determine the professional value of a task. In this case, Coninvest understood the target group perfectly, served the interior design concept, and delivered furniture solutions that can keep up with the pace.
This project is about how to make a youthful, intensively used hotel space cozy, flexible to operate, and sustainable in the long term without compromise.
