The Reby

Een Historische Transformatie

Hospitality
Architect: Apto
Location: Nijmegen
Surface: 7500 m2
Delivery: 2024

In 2024, BigBrands proudly unveiled The Rebyl, a transformative hospitality project in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, developed in partnership with Odyssey Hotel Group and Lingotto. This ambitious project brought new life to a former girls’ school built in 1922, transforming it into a vibrant 7,500 sq m destination that connects past, present and future.

The vision: to combine homage to the building’s history with a modern, rebellious hospitality concept. Original Art Deco and Amsterdam School elements, including corridors with high ceilings and floral tiles, were carefully preserved and integrated.

The guest rooms, redesigned to maximise light and space, have loft-like layouts, exposed wooden beams and a soft pastel palette that references the building’s heritage. The vibrant lobby, with iridescent pendant lights and warm wood elements, sets the tone for an inclusive guest experience.
