2014 GOLD KEY AWARDS
BEST HOTEL - UPSCALE
WINNER
HILTON ISTANBUL BOMONTI
HOTEL & CONFERENCE CENTER
Designer: G.A Design, London
"THERE'S A NEW
WORLD, EXECUTIVE
FEEL HERE THAT
REFLECTS A NEW
WESTERN INFLUENCE
IN TURKEY. THE
CONCEPT COMES
ON A STRONG,
BUT THERE'S
ENOUGH SOFTNESS
TO MAINTAIN A
RESIDENTIAL APPEAL"
-ALAN PHILIPS,
MORGANS HOTEL GROUP
THE CHALLENGE: Imbue Istanbul's largest hotel with easy Western elegance framed by
classic-and classy-art deco accents.
of meeting space and the story of the hotel's namesake Bomonti brothers (who started the
first modern beer production facility in Turkey in 1984) suggested a handsome, masculine
aesthetic. As befits a world-class hotel that overlooks two continents, no single influence
could tell the design story.
To tailor that aesthetic, G.A Design drew the blue/gray palette and bespoke accents
such as the piping on the Grand Bar's seating from the flawless style of Ralph Lauren. Art
deco's architectural lines suggested the crisp edge of the millwork and furniture. An Eastern
aesthetic shaped elements from beautiful fretwork and Chinese lanterns in the lobby and
restaurant to a glittering gold-and-silvery Turkish mosaic tile wall in the spa. Soaring columns
and an intriguing variety of ceiling decoration answer the demand for bona fide grandeur,
but the neutral shell and simple painted walls ensure an appealingly millennial restraint.
THE SHOWSTOPPER: The rich array of surfacing materials. To keep this gentlemanly
concept uncluttered, the walls shoulder much of the design impact. The ambience changes
as guests move through spaces defined by intricate traditional lattices, ultra-modern 3D
sculpted focal panels and timeless leather treatments. In the guest rooms, mid-toned
walnut walls in the sleeping area and gray/brown marble in the bath shift the ambience
to a more intimate setting.
THE TAKEAWAY: Use the entire canvas. There's no need for predictable accessories in
a lobby where guests have a massive art statement made by gray Claris marble circles
spiraling through the expanse of creamy limestone under their feet.
