UAB Nordinary Group designed the AC Hotel Vilnius with a focus on context, craftsmanship and refined contemporary style. The interior reflects the Marriott brand ethos while responding directly to its location in the Saint Jacobs Quarter. Nordinary Group positioned the design between two contrasting views. One side looks towards the richly coloured Church of Saints Philip and James, while the other faces the growing central business district. The interior balances these influences, creating a calm, elegant atmosphere that feels rooted in Vilnius.

Nordinary Group worked exclusively with Lithuanian artists to curate the hotel’s art collection. Large abstract works and sculptural pieces introduce cultural depth and strengthen the sense of place. The colour palette follows the AC Marriott brand book but is adjusted to echo the tones of the Old Town. Warm neutrals form the base, enriched with terracotta, muted yellow and deep green.

Materiality plays a central role in the project. Granite walls with arched details continue the language of the façade and create a clear link between exterior and interior. Oak veneer with A1 fire resistance, granite cladding, oak parquet, clay plaster and quartzite add warmth and texture. Brass accents, sculptural lighting and Italian furniture contribute to a refined but understated character.

Nordinary Group ensured that the interior performs as well as it looks. Acoustic specialists improved sound insulation and layouts support comfort and modern functionality. Lithuanian carpenters and metalworkers produced bespoke pieces that reinforce the connection to local craft. Through these combined efforts, Nordinary Group created a hotel that feels both luxurious and authentic, expressing Vilnius’s heritage and contemporary identity.
