- A bold new take on hotel dining near Brussels Airport

IHG Hotels & Resorts

Located near Brussels Airport, Crowne Plaza Brussels Airport has long served international travelers and business guests. With the launch of CRAFT, the hotel aimed to create more than just a renovated restaurant—it wanted to become a destination in itself.

The challenge for us was clear: design a unique, future-proof brand and interior that would appeal to both travelers and Belgian locals, who traditionally overlook hotel dining. Through in-depth workshops with the chef, we defined CRAFT’s identity, which included a tribute to artisanal skill, determination, and hospitality. We reflected these values in tactile materials like marble, wood, wicker, copper, and basalt, all tied together in a refined interior inspired by Brussels’ Art Nouveau heritage.

The result is a bold and inviting space that elevates hotel dining, creating a memorable experience that feels both local and global in spirit.

“There are three responses when you look at a piece of design, yes, no and WOW! Creating the WOW effect is the philosophy of WWM! WWM helped us to implement our new Food & Beverage concept named CRAFT for which they were able to deploy their creativity and professionalism in order to succeed in their mission. whether from a graphic design or branding point of view they were able to illustrate in reality our aspirations. 

The space is just beyond stunning, it came together so nicely and I have to commend everyone’s joint creative efforts to make it as magical as it seems to us. We truly enjoyed our collaboration and we will definitely get in touch with them for any future projects!”
