The Centrum: Lucknow's architectural gem crafted with Canadian Wood species
WOOD WISE

The Centrum Hotel is a five-star destination with a difference. It stands as a stunning example of modern architecture in the heart of Lucknow. The building’s minimalist aesthetics, heightened by its sharp, clean lines and a façade in a fusion of concrete and glass, lends a brilliant contemporary note to this city steeped in rich cultural traditions. The interiors of the building boasts of a range of amenities, including spacious and elegant rooms, restaurants, swimming pool, fitness centre, and spa, all of which are set on landscaped grounds. The design, both interior and exterior, stands out for its effusive use of natural materials like sustainable and certified wood, adding warmth and sophistication to the spaces. This is where Canadian Wood species plays a key role.

A large, curved wall at the entrance welcomes visitors with a dramatic flair as it has the inscription, ‘The Centrum’ is boldly inscribed across it. However, it does not stop there! Canadian Wood is known for its versatility and sustainability, it is used throughout the property, creating a harmonious blend of aesthetics, warmth and environmental responsibility.
