Essential aspects of a boutique hotel are individuality, charm and character – attributes that the reinvented Hotel Ottilia in Copenhagen has carried right through to its renovation and upgrade, new bathrooms included.

And it’s these same attributes that make this hotel reno great inspiration for a home bathroom.

The hotel’s new architecture and interior design have an industrial look to reflect the building’s origins, with renovating architects, Arkitema Architects, aimimg to focus on the history of the building and to underline its historical value.

And this pared-back design language continues atmospherically in the bathrooms.

The look is characterised by stainless steel and glass elements as well as ceramic tiles, which the architects see as a reminiscence of the existing building’s ceramic façade.

The striking ceramic wall and floor tiles used in the bathrooms are from Agrob Buchtal's Craft series.

Fired in a classic tunnel kiln, the Craft series reflects the natural play of the fire, creating slightly iridescent glazes with a handcrafted look.

The authentic character of this tile collection is underlined by the classic subway tile format, albeit utilised in a vertical orientation.

The bathrooms in Ottilia are homely in the sense of the Danish-Norwegian term Hygge, used to embody casual, relaxed and cordial comfort, warmth, security and cosiness.

And the ceramic Craft collection embodies captures this spirit.

Approximately 3,500 square metres were laid in the four colours dark-grey, golden-yellow flamed, mid grey and olive-green flamed.

The hotel Ottilia attractively enriches the cultural life in Copenhagen’s lively Carlsberg district and offers the opportunity of staying in an architectural “contemporary witness” and an icon of Danish industrial history.
