Support for local artists

Support for local artists

We love art and we support the local artists from our community. We care for our local artists because our life gets better with them around. Local artists add more than just pretty pictures to our community. They have the passion for making it a better place to live, through their artwork. Artists bring cultural diversity, they provide entertainment, add value by attracting people to gathering spots, they expose culture, contribute to a positive mood and bring new ideas to people.

That is why Hotel Tim’s decided to use artwork to decorate its rooms and gave the possibility to its guests to buy digital prints of the exposed artwork.

The reasons why you should buy an artwork and support the local artists are:

  • It stimulates creativity and good mood
  • Makes the perfect authentic gift for birthday, wedding or housewarming
  • Has cultural significance

BigSEE Interior Design Award Winner 2021

BigSEE Interior Design Award Winner 2021

Hotel Tim’s is proud to announce that this year is an award winner for interior design, winning the BigSEE Interior Design Award 2021.

https://bigsee.eu/hotel-tims-skopje/

As stated on their web site BIG SEE is the newest, latest and most exiting emerging platform under the BIG umbrella. SEE stands for Southeast Europe. And it brings together 19 countries and 340 million people in what they feel, claim and exclaim is the most compelling, most creative region in the world. BIG brings together individuals, institutions and companies to explore and celebrate everything this dynamic region has to offer. BigSEE Interior Design Awards recognise and expose excellence in interior design from Southeast Europe.

Biro60b is the company responsible for the design of Hotel Tim’s and Tim Inzenering as constructor of the building.

We invited Elena Pazardjievska Ristovska, the main architect from Biro60b to tell us about the design details they incorporated in Hotel Tim’s architecture. 

The design approach focuses on integration of different types of carefully chosen materials, textures and color pallets. Wooden decors, marble tables, large mirrors and custom-designed furniture along with ample space and light create a sense of modern luxury. This classical though contemporary design concept aims to emphasize the openness and the clarity of spaces creating charming atmospheres and unique experiences. Energy efficiency as one of the main design points resulted in redesign the facades and installation of solar panels and smart eco-friendly systems inside the building. White mesh cladding and golden details on the south facade hide the predominant post-modern curved shape and allow the sun to play with its shadows along the day while glowing translucently at night.

Not only the hotel is BigSEE Interior Design Award Winner 2021, it is also nominated for the Grand Prix Award in the hospitality category.

As the new year approaches, it is time to say goodbye to the year full of uncertainty, anxiety and fear, but also a year full of emotions. We are leaving 2020 behind and starting a new chapter in our story with a renovated hotel that will include transformed guest experience.

Hotel Tim’s story starts back in 1999 as one of the first private hotels in Skopje, welcoming guests in flat sized apartments. Last year was a complete re-imagination of the property, reflecting the vision of family owners.

The renovation project, which began in November 2019, has covered the hotel’s welcome zone, restaurant, conference rooms as well as all guestrooms.

The modern and elegant guest rooms now include fresh new décor with minimalistic design and stylish furniture. The newly renovated guest rooms feature space for personal storage, kitchenettes and cozy seating areas.  Each guest room includes a 43’’ TVs, soundproof doors and windows, safety deposit box, coffee and tea preparation sets. For more details about the guest rooms visit this link.

The hotel also offers a brand-new dining experience at the restaurant, serving a breakfast buffet in the morning, switching to a business café in the afternoon and evening.

The redesign of Tim’s conference room was also part of the project. The new conference room offers seats for up to 45 persons. Additional meeting room for up to 10 persons offers quiet place as a working environment or room for confidential and personalized meetings. For more details about the Tim’s meeting rooms visit this link.

To meet the highest standards in hospitality, we have to make continual improvements to the hotel – and the new conceptual design will meet the needs of modern travelers for many years to come. Great things await at Hotel Tim’s. Find out for yourself by booking your stay today.
