BEST HOTEL LUXURY
WINNER
INTERCONTINENTAL LYON
HOTEL DIEU
FRANCE
THE DESIGN FIRM: Studio Jean-Philippe Nuel, Paris/New York
THE MUSE: This is a challenging application for hospital-ity
design. The 800-year-old building's original purpose was as a
medical facility. Not exactly the stuff of which 5-star design
dreams are made.
THE MAGIC: "The apparent dichotomy between the building's
function and its extravagant architecture is the very essence of
the Hôtel-Dieu," says Jean-Philippe Nuel, founder of his eponymous studio. "One needs to go back in history to understand the
social dynamics, with the dominant position held by religion. But
while the external architecture is highly ornamental, historically
the interior already expressed the contrast between architecture
and function."
THE MAVERICK MOVE: Turning to Lyon's iconic silk industry
for the decadent side of the monastic/precious contrast that
rules the design scheme for this 144-key hotel. "Black timber
paneling in the reception is punctuated by gilt wall lights, playing
homage to the city of lights (Lyon, in this case, not Paris) visible
from the outside," says Nuel. "Made using the same traditional
Lyon silks, the sconces were designed in association with Veronique de Soultrait. Her work on the theme of clouds plays in
contrast with the silk to form an ensemble associating heritage
and creation." In other parts of the hotel, Lyonnais silks and plain
canvases maintain that duality.
THE MESSAGE: Sometimes the hardest thing to do is think
inside the architectural box a designer is given. For this hotel,
finding furniture that wasn't dwarfed by the space was a challenge. Patterned backs on lobby sofas help up the visual ante.
Dark colors help give the lobby human scale.

But, it's more than just a cool aesthetic choice (though it
certainly is that, too). It's about understanding and respecting
the building itself, and its relationship to the city and its inhabitants. Nuel sums up his goal as humble luxury, not superimposing
design ideas.
