Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffman and his magical tale of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King inspired us to create the Mercure Kaliningrad interior design. Upon entering the lobby, guests find themselves in an impressive theater interior where historical elements are presented in a contemporary way.

We placed the Mercure Brand wall next to the entrance; it is a textured brick wall with an unusual brick layout. The construction of the wall creates a secluded internal space with paintings based on the Hoffman fairytale. They were painted by modern artist Igor Skaletsky who uses mixed media and combines collages with classical painting.

Another important area is the bar, which is built from white marble. A modern fixture of LED lights of different length creates a cozy illumination for the lobby. To make the bar even more attractive, the back wall is decorated with a mirror that magnifies and emphasizes volume and shape. The room design is based on the image of the city of Kaliningrad – a modern interpretation of towers, steeples, and inclined roofs, graphic patters of historic facades.
