Last year, as the celebrated its 150th anniversary, we had the privilege of creating a visual identity that reflected the timeless elegance and prestige of this iconic landmark.

We crafted a logo identity that seamlessly encapsulated the rich heritage and luxurious essence of the Hotel Grande Bretagne, ensuring it felt both timeless and contemporary. The process began with a deep dive into the hotel’s history, architecture, and reputation as a symbol of sophistication, which guided the design direction.

The logo itself became the cornerstone of the anniversary campaign, but its impact extended far beyond just a single design. We developed a cohesive visual language that translated effortlessly into a wide array of materials. From custom packaging and exclusive gift items to elegant space branding and event collateral, each element echoed the same level of refinement. Every touchpoint — whether it was a beautifully crafted gift box or a stunning event backdrop — carried the spirit of the Hotel Grande Bretagne, making each guest interaction feel personal, special, and in line with the hotel’s storied legacy.

This holistic approach ensured that the logo identity wasn’t just a symbol but a unifying thread that tied together every facet of the anniversary celebration.

When the marked its 150th anniversary last year, we had the honor of crafting the anniversary visual identity as iconic as the landmark itself.
