Nobu Hotel Warsaw : Timeless elegance meets modern design
» A NEW DESIGN HOTEL IN THE Polish capital is making its mark with extraordinary architecture that combines the Art Deco style of the 1920s with the modern era : the Nobu Hotel Warsaw . Established by Oscar prize winner Robert De Niro , the Japanese chef Nobu Matsuhisa and the entrepreneur Meir Teper , the exclusive 5-star hotel with 117 rooms and suites stands in Warsaw ’ s cultural Mokotów district . Construction work on the 100 million PLN ( 21,8 million €) project began in 2017 , and the hotel opened its doors to guests from around the world on 3 August 2020 .
Nobu currently has almost 40 restaurants worldwide which combine characteristic Japanese dishes with – depending on the location – local culinary delicacies . Following the success of the restaurant chain , the founders of the Nobu brand decided to create luxurious hotels that combine excellent cuisine and a stay in an extraordinary ambience . The Nobu brand is also particularly well-known for the architecture of its buildings , each of which is different and creates an individual reference to the hotel ’ s location .
An unusual , trapezoidal glass structure with offset floors arose in Warsaw , where the twelfth hotel of the renowned brand was built . Particularly striking is the new building ’ s façade made of crushed glass which offers the discerning clientèle , including a number of Hollywood stars , sufficient privacy without having to forego the view of the Warsaw skyline .
The hotel was built on the site of the former Rialto Hotel and is surrounded by historic buildings , which necessitated a cautious approach . The original Rialto was converted into a classic wing and extended with a contemporary new structure whose clear design vocabulary makes reference to the Warsaw architectural style at the beginning of the last century . The modern part was designed by the Polish architecture firm Medusa Group and the design office Studio PCH from California . The result is a successful combination of the traditional Japanese touch with modern architecture .
Masterpieces of modern Polish art from the Grzegorz Jankilewicz Collection can be found in all of the hotel ’ s public areas . The combination of cuisine , culture , architecture and energy efficiency makes the Nobu Hotel Warsaw unique .
ABUNDANT DAYLIGHT WITH HIGH ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Large glazed areas in the interior ensure lots of daylight . The triple glazing from the company Vitroterm-Murów offers even more advantages : Equipped with warm edge spacer bars from SWISSPACER , the best possible insulation is ensured . The spacer bars of the Swiss manufacturer consist of a highly insulating plastic composite material which minimises the loss of heat . They therefore prevent cold bridges and heat loss in the area around the edge of the panes of insulating glass – this prevents heat entering the building ’ s interior in summer and keeps the cold out in winter . Condensation , mould and the health problems these cause don ’ t stand a chance . Although at first glance they represent a barely perceptible detail in the overall planning , the spacer bars are essential for saving energy as well as for pleasant temperatures inside the Nobu Hotel in Warsaw .
