CitizenM hotels wins European Hotel Design Award of the Year
The CitizenM (standing
for Citizen Mobile) group of hotels has won the internationally
judged European Hotel Design Award.
‘It is fair to say that the eventual
winner is a hotel that stood out from the competition in all
aspects of its conception. Not just its design and architecture,
but also its use of technology, its marketing, its future
development potential and most importantly, the seamless integration
of all these into a product that offers the guest a rewarding
experience,’ says Matt Turner, editor-in-chief of Sleeper
Magazine, the magazine that presented the awards.
The idea behind CitizenM is a small space,
innovatively designed, for cost-conscious customers.
The hotel group also won the innovation
award, the technology award (with moving façades) and
the graphic design award. It was also a finalist in the best
architecture and best interior design categories.
