This Tuesday, 14 July 2020, Claude Strasser, Managing Director of POST Luxembourg, presented the transformation and reconversion project of the Hôtel des Postes, located rue Aldringen in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, in the presence of Lydie Polfer, Mayor of the City of Luxembourg, as well as Philippe Baudry, CEO of the ARTEA Group, co-investor and future operator of the project.
The conversion of this emblematic building had been the subject of a call for ideas in 2015 without any proposal being retained. Our project aims to restore and sublimate the cultural and architectural dimension of the Hôtel des Postes. Its reconversion will also make it possible to
the original appearance of this real estate complex.
The new use of the Hôtel des Postes must be commensurate with the importance of this cultural and architectural heritage for Luxembourgers. In its new decor, it will be a place open to different clienteles, first and foremost Luxembourgers, tourists, businessmen and women, and anyone attracted by the discovery of a new magical place.
With a total surface area of 8,600 m², the ground floor, with its inner courtyard, will house a restaurant, a bar, shops, as well as the lobby of a Lifestyle hotel that meets the codes of this new generation of hotels. Spaces from the first to the fourth floor will be reserved 75% for the hotel business and 25% for coworking. The basement will be dedicated to an independent wellness area accessible to all.
The concept of this very innovative project, after being validated by POST Luxembourg, was presented to Géraldine Dohogne, designer and interior designer based in London. She will be responsible for the design and interior layout of the entire Hotel des Postes project.
This first collaboration with Géraldine Dohogne will be renewed on other future comparable projects developed by ARTEA.
At the press conference, Philippe Baudry, ARTEA's President and CEO, stressed: "This is a very important milestone in the history of ARTEA.
he conversion project of the emblematic Hôtel des Postes in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg bears witness to the know-how of ARTEA whose teams have imagined an innovative architectural programme capable of giving new life to this exceptional heritage steeped in history. Our desire is to integrate it into the city of tomorrow thanks to its new uses. Through this operation, ARTEA illustrates its desire to continue developing its activity as a services hub.
