How the renewal of Hotel Kyjev can anchor a wider mix of hospitality, homes, commerce, culture, and public space.
The project in context
A planned mixed-use urban destination centred on the renewal of Hotel Kyjev and its surroundings, bringing accommodation, homes, commercial and cultural uses, and revitalised public space together in Bratislava.
City-centre renewal is larger than a single building. Existing landmarks, movement routes, public space, surrounding uses, and the memory of the place all shape what a new development should contribute.
Urban renewal works best when a landmark reconnects people, programmes, and public space.
Building a wider piece of city
The vision treats Hotel Kyjev and its surroundings as one piece of city fabric, with complementary uses organised around a renewed public realm.
Arteria’s identity expresses that idea as an urban circulatory system: streets, buildings, public space, people, services, and energy forming one connected organism in the heart of the city.
A framework for long-term renewal
Major urban projects evolve through planning, partnership, and dialogue. A clear framework allows the programme to develop while keeping the central objective—reconnecting the place with city life—intact.
For Arteria, long-term relevance comes from protecting the project’s defining idea while allowing its spaces, operation, and relationship with Bratislava to respond as needs evolve.
