Tailored elegance

A careful restoration project has transformed a prestigious Art Nouveau building into a hotel, restoring the original charm of its historic architecture

The 10 Manzoni Aparthotel, just a few steps from Piazza Duomo in Cremona, has undergone careful restoration work that has restored the original charm of the historic architecture, together with an interior design project with a highly distinctive aesthetic language. The building consists of eight separate residences accessed from a large common room, the convivial heart of the building. Each residence interprets a different mood, defined by color palettes, furnishings, and stylistic choices that enhance its uniqueness.

«The desire to decisively characterize all the rooms and offer guests different living solutions led to the decision to customize the walls of the eight units with aesthetically striking and technically impeccable wallpapers», says project curator Michele Bianchi of the ARKPABI Architecture Studio. The WallPepper® graphics used are: Hunter’s Lodge, MarBleplacE, To the wOOd, Time Capsule, Round but Lines, You&Tub, Golden Rings, and The Double Arches.
