11 Mirrors, the first member of Design Hotels in
the Ukraine, is celebrating its grand opening this month.
The brainchild of Wladimir Klitschko, 11 Mirrors
is the result of his vision of a hotel that would reflect the many
different aspects of Kiev as well as his own experience as a world
traveler.
Anatoliy Kirik and Marina Leo, who are responsible for
the architecture and interior design of the hotel, consulted
closely with Klitschko while working on 11 Mirrors. In creating
the look and feel of the hotel, their team of Ukrainian and
international architects and designers combined global trends with
simple, timeless elegance and sophistication.
The narrow 11-storey
building impresses from the outside with its austere granite
façade, combining contemporary design and 19th century
architecture. Visitors pass through glass doors to the lobby,
where the natural stone walls, reception desk, floor and fireplace
complement a stainless steel ceiling designed by Anatoliy Kirik,
glass panels and artistic mirrored wall décor by the local
Fomichev Brothers.
The 49 rooms and suites offer peace
and privacy, with windows overlooking Kiev’s historical center,
intimate lighting, dark wood accents, spacious bathrooms and
subtle bursts of color.
With spa-inspired bathrooms, specially
designed work spaces and fully-stocked bar areas, guests can
easily relax and recharge to enjoy the nearby sights and sounds
that the city has to offer.
Black and white backgrounds, wide panoramic windows,
reflective silver mirrors and playing surfaces and ceramic
decorations by majolica artist Taras Tkachenko give the hotel a
sense of minimalism, while the amber-colored design bar welcomes
guests to the informal mezzanine restaurant and a
fireplace warms cocktail-sipping visitors in the lounge.
11 Mirrors is located in Kiev’s center, in the
very heart of old and dynamic Kiev, just a few meters from the
National Opera House. All major historical sites as well as the
best cafés, bars, restaurants, shops and art galleries are all
within easy walking distance from the hotel.
Rates start at EUR 265.
