Vilnius, Lithuania
Hotel Pacai
Set in the heart of Vilnius’ Old Town, Hotel Pacai perfectly echoes this quarter’s 17th-century Baroque grandeur, yet augments it with a contemporary twist.
With the majority of the mansion dating back centuries, the goal was to keep the history visible in a direct way. Thus, all the existing frescoes and unique textures of the walls are emphasized through lighting, while the main features of the hotel strive for elegance and classical purity, both through materials and details.
