The Grand Budapest Hotel is the titular piece of architecture in Wes Anderson’s most popular film, today we are looking at it from an interior designer’s point of view. The building is shown in two distinct time periods, both of which capture the historical essence of design at the time. We explore how this building carries the whole film, even long after the characters have gone on their adventures to seemingly far away places.
