Pantone Brussels Hotel Reviews in Sleeper Magazine

Pantone’s iconic graphic identity has inspired the design of a new hotel, launched in Brussels in May 2010. “The most important aspect of the hotel for me was the marriage of colour across the interior design, architecture and graphics,” explains interior designer Michel Penneman. 

Penneman saw the opportunity to work the Pantone branding into his scheme, as well as specifying products from the Pantone Universe of homewares, apparel and fashion accessories. 

The idea worked for brothers Avi and Ilan Haim, who own the property, and with Pantone already toying with the idea of a move into hospitality the project fell fortuitously into place. 

Of course, it was not as simple as that but when Penneman submitted his 3D renderings, the phone from the New Jersey HQ of Pantone was soon ringing.

Pantone Hotel Brussels In the New York Times

Anyone who has been to Brussels will attest to its being a drab town with good bars and restaurants but disappointingly bland hotels. Until now. Pantone, the undisputed color authority, is the latest brand to attach its name to a hotel, having opened a 59-room boutique establishment in the Belgian capital last May.

Occupying a white 1970s tower on a tree-lined square near the shopping district on Avenue Louise, the Pantone Hotel pulls off the seemingly impossible, successfully extending the brand’s multihued DNA without being an eyesore.

The interior designers Michel Penneman and Oliver Hannaert thankfully exercised restraint when applying the Pantone logo and its scope of colors throughout the hotel

.












The sparsely furnished white rooms and suites (beginning at $137 per night) create breathing space for photographs of Brussels’s more lurid urban features — a red bridge here, striped blue and white flags there — by the Belgian photographer Victor Levy. Floor-to-ceiling windows make the capacious rooms appear even bigger and brighter, and the salt-and-pepper shag carpeting feels soft underfoot.

The hotel’s seven floors were each designated a different color — a gesture meant to entice customers to select a room to match their mood. There is a rooftop terrace offering excellent views of the city and a lobby boutique selling a range of Pantone merchandise from coffee mugs to stepladders. And if a color consultation with a Pantone expert won’t do the trick, another corner of the lobby has a small library where guests can read about color therapy if they’re feeling blue.

Conceived by the designer Michel Penneman and the architect Olivier Hannaert, the Pantone Hotel is based in Central Brussel, Belgium. Inspired by the famous color matching system Pantone, the 59-room hotel is a great place for designers to sleep over while passing by the Belgium capital.

Pantone Inc’s claim to its fame began 45 years ago with its revolutionary color matching system that allowed designers to reproduce accurate color anywhere in the world. The company is branching out and moving into lifestyle – oriented industries using the same color numbering system to guarantee an exactness of hue. In 2009 they launched sea-vee sneakers.
