柏林丽思卡尔顿酒店 | 穿越时空的 Art Deco 魅力

Berlin has never stood still. It always transforms, advances, reverses, but in reality, never stops. The last century in the city’s life is explicitly typical for that. From the Golden Age of the 1920’s thru the darker periods of the 30’s and World War, as well as the split city in the Cold War, right through to the German Reunion and modern times, Berlin has showed many faces. 

This restless and vibrant attitude is what makes the city so fascinating, and was the first pillar of inspiration for the design.

The Golden Twenties continues to be resurrected in the renovation of the hotel's two bars. 

In the Curtain Club, the theme of feathers and wings adds drama to the screens and reliefs of the back bar; motifs that are used throughout the hotel. Bar zones suggesting indoor and outdoor areas have been created to give the feel of a terrace. 

The backlit back bar relief changes throughout the day; spotlights highlight the relief in the evening whilst backlighting during the day adds another layer of change to the design.

Customers visiting Fragrances bar step into a laboratory where drinks are mixed as if perfumes and smells and tastes merge together. The diamond pattern to the counter and seating is reminiscent of cut-glass perfume bottles. Above the bar hangs a chandelier resembling hundreds of glass "testtubes".

The main feature in the guestrooms is the head board paneling with its structured grid. This represents the precise and clear attributes of the German people, with some panels “moving” and revealing a new face.  Changing from day to night, from an old era to the next. The colours of the light taupe and aubergine endeavour to speak for the day and night, for the setting and rising sun as it changes.  The bathroom vanity & mirror is a clear homage to the old era of the Golden Twenties and the style of Art Deco of that period.  Both elements have subtle references to that age, but with a modern twist.

Inspiration was taken from the Marlene's Dietrich's song in which she sings about leaving a suitcase in Berlin. The mini bar credenza has been reimagined as this suitcase, the idea being that it would be filled with local products and more memorable items such as an umbrella, U-Bahn tickets, and a map, plus high-end souvenirs. The narrative continues in the artwork with the guestroom pictures representing the clothes from Marlene's trunk.

The crisscross motif which can be seen throughout the guestrooms - on cushions, carpets, table and in the Carlton ClubSuite living room pendent, represents the Potsdamer Platz cross road junction.
