Eccentric Soho Hotels : MARTIN BRUDNIZKI

Interior architect Martin Brudnizki has applied his creative touch to London’s Broadwick Soho hotel, creating a colorful, vintage ambiance featuring highlights like Italian maiolica tiles and bespoke furniture from India. The eight-floor hotel comprises 57 rooms adorned with opulent colors and patterns, reflecting the rich history of the surrounding Soho neighborhood.

Brudnizki’s attention to detail extends to the Italian restaurant Dear Jackie, where hand-painted ceramic tiles for the bar were collaboratively developed with a family business in Sicily. Noteworthy design elements include marbled wallpaper featuring tiger and elephant patterns in select guestrooms, with the elephant serving as a symbol for the hotel and transforming into mini-bars in the suites.

To top off the eclectic design, vintage pieces, such as a 1970s Murano glass chandelier and commissioned Murano glass lamps, further enhance the unique and sophisticated aesthetic of Broadwick Soho.
