Hallmark Hotel’s Design Transformation

Hallmark’s most recent refit and re-branding, launched in early 2020, are warm, modern, evocative and just a touch flamboyant. The design recalls the building’s industrial origins, with a sandblasted, exposed structure setting the scene for a contemporary, urban look that complements the lustrous, rich textures and colours of the sophisticated interior architecture.

The building was repurposed as an upmarket stay|work|play mixed-use development in 2016, making a bold statement about Johannesburg’s inner city by introducing a chic and trendy dimension to the surrounding city fabric. The design was carried out by internationally-renowned Ghanaian architect, Sir David Adjaye.
