Hotel Beaumont, Maastricht, The Netherlands
Hotel Beaumont Residence is a third generation family business located near to Maastricht train station. The hotel was founded in 1912 in a 4-storey corner building constructed in 1885. From this point the hotel gradually expanded along the adjoining buildings of the same block and adapted itself to acquire the status of a modern 4-star hotel with 121 rooms.

The recent replanning was prompted by the acquisition of further adjoining buildings that were to be integrated into the existing hotel configuration. The objective was to restructure the public areas on the ground floor, their complicated room layouts, their lighting conditions and the ground floor, and to redesign these areas into one generous and aesthetic whole.

In this process it was also necessary to incorporate a new show kitchen within the existiong restaurant, a new lounge, an enlarged reception area, a breakfast room with a kitchen, and a banqueting hall. The reorganization of room groupings optimised the flow of operations between the hotel’s different functions.

The characteristic room elements and furnishings that were worth conserving (for example in the restaurant) were preserved and they provided the material and colour stock for the new spaces. By means of clear and reduced architectural language and sophisticated lighting the different room qualities were strengthened without losing sight of the general language of the public ground floor areas.
