Project Description

The Pullman Hotel in Addis Ababa redefines the 4-star hospitality experience through a compelling fusion of modern sophistication and cultural expression. The design delivers a full interior concept across 180 guest rooms, suites, lounges, restaurants, and wellness spaces—each one created to balance functionality with flair. From concept through to construction documentation, the design was guided by a commitment to unconventional elegance, where refined, neutral palettes are paired with bold accents and textural layers that echo the vibrancy of Ethiopian heritage.

Interiors throughout the hotel are designed to feel human, surprising, and distinctive—a harmonious blend of functionality and artistry. The guest journey unfolds through intuitively planned spaces, including guest rooms, lounges, and public areas that prioritize comfort, flow, and visual storytelling. Every element, from custom finishes to curated artwork, contributes to a cohesive atmosphere that is at once global and locally resonant.

With its playful yet professional tone, the design language embraces the Pullman brand's forward-thinking spirit while capturing the rich cultural landscape of Addis Ababa. The result is a destination that feels fresh, welcoming, and timeless—built for modern travelers who appreciate immersive, design-led environments.
