Hospitality Design - January 2010 - 90
By Tara Mastrelli Photography by Amit Geron bright lights, old city Jerusalem’s first luxury lifestyle hotel shines Located in the center of Jerusalem with views of the Old City walls, the Tower of David, and Jaffa Gate, architect Moshe Safdie and designer Piero Lissoni created a gleaming modern masterpiece in Jerusalem stone that complements its ancient surroundings. “The Mamilla Hotel is a quintessentially urban place. It is a combination of historic buildings and contemporary architecture rising out of the network of alleys, which connect the walled and the new cities of Jerusalem. It combines the pattern of the old with cutting-edge modernity,” says Safdie. “We’re working in a town that was founded thousands of years ago. It’s an unbelievable place, and that’s it. I tried to design it my best in a town like that,” adds Lissoni. “Jerusalem has a special energy, the feeling is so particular. The light is very different to other parts of the world, and with the white stones, everything around is like a huge reflection.” Inspired by the strong sun, Lissoni plays with light throughout. “For example the lobby entrance is a bit like a rabbit hole,” he says, noting the extensive work with lighting designers to create different looks from day to night. Candles and natural light complement and contrast electric lamps, with some anomalies, like the huge custom chandelier, using specially designed bulbs to emulate candles. “We are working around the light, trying to bring a bit of sexy atmosphere inside the hotel,” he explains. “The power of the light is so strong, but it’s not sexy.” Lissoni used local materials and artisans, while incorporating the eclectic cultures of the region with modern pieces from Europe as well as antique pieces from China and Africa. All of the 194 guestrooms feature dark wooden floors, exposed Jerusalem Stone walls, large metal headboards, and sleek bathrooms with deep, rectangular bathtubs set in hospitalitydesign www.hospitalitydesign.com
