THDP were the winners of the Bar/Club/Lounge – Europe Award in The International Hotel and Property Awards 2022.

THDP is proud to introduce the new Pigeon Post Bar & Eatery at Hilton Cologne, with a design concept inspired by the history of the hotel and its building – once being a Post Office.

The hotel was once home to Cologne’s postal savings bank, a landmark building on the famous Marzellenstrasse. The building’s heritage is the inspiration for the interior design – expressing this vintage vibe, considered, contemporary with fun quirky details. A feature central bar with prominent overhead gantry in wood and copper colours, tabletops are in faux marble effects from Dekton and Neolith – expressing the previous functionality of the building and updating the effect to offer a more intimate but contemporary vibe.

Seating options in the bar are either at the bar on new Stellar Works bar stools or custom-made half-moon cosy booths fabricated by Hagenauer, providing private dining in a more intimate space. Dining/lounge sets of 4 and 2 are for more casual occasions.

The interior uses a simple earthy colour palette of blue greens and greys drizzled with mustard, and has a unique balance between industrial, vintage, and modern styling. Visually attractive textures and materials were chosen as guest touchpoints, visual appeal and durability.
