Design Inspiration

The overall aesthetic theme of interior design is inspired by German classical music genres. Music is an important part of life in Germany. Over the centuries, many German composers, bands and artists have created a new wave of movements. Germany has played a leading role in the development of classical music in the world. The most famous musicians, such as Bach, Handel, Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms, Wagner and Mahler, all born in Germany. We interpret the music genres as design techniques, and integrate the brand image of Maxx hotel – elaborately planned but not stick to one pattern, tranquil, calm and exquisite, elegant, rich layering and the balance between of comfort and drama. The hotel is jointly created by outstanding innovative people in the fields of architecture, interior design, arts curating, catering and hotel services.
