Pantone, l’albergo dei colori

Finestre, letti, pareti, sedie, biciclette, anche la carta igienica: qui tutto è all'insegna del design, ma soprattutto dei colori

Bruxelles - A guardarlo dall’esterno sembra il Bauhaus di Dessau, ma con un tocco di vivacità in più. Il Pantone Hotel è un albergo dall’architettura minimal, un grande parallelepipedo bianco a cui sembrano incollate come figurine numerose finestre quadrate e rettangolari incorniciate da un’intelaiatura nera, che ricordano davvero la storica sede della scuola di design tedesca. Qua è là, però, i vetri sono colorati di verde, rosso e blu: un assaggio di ciò che attende gli ospiti all'interno.

Il nome Pantone è ripreso dall’omonimo sistema di catalogazione cromatica per la produzione grafica, e proprio il mondo dei colori è il leitmotiv di questo particolare albergo. L’architettura e l’arredamento appaiono infatti declassati a coprotagonisti rispetto alle scelte cromatiche: sono i colori i veri artefici delle diverse atmosfere che si ritrovano in ognuna delle 61 camere.

Da quella in azzurro Pantone 298 C, acquatico e tranquillo, a quella con il lilla Pantone 238 C, accattivante e pregiato. In ogni ambiente una parete accoglie tre o quattro cartoncini che sembrano presi da un campionario di vernice, su cui sono indicate le sfumature utilizzate. Arrivati nella hall, non resta quindi altro che scegliere la camera cromaticamente più vicina al vostro umore o al vostro carattere (sempre che non sia già occupata). Per completezza, ognuna è dotata di televisore lcd, aria condizionata e wi-fi gratuito.

Non solo le stanze, però: ogni minimo particolare, dalla tazzina del caffè alle sedie, dalle biciclette a noleggio ai portariviste, è in linea con l’aura pop che si coglie nell’albergo. Tutto è colorato e contrassegnato dal giusto cartellino o etichetta con codice Pantone.

I prezzi variano in base al periodo, ma vanno comunque da circa 60 a 200 euro a notte per persona.

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.

Hotel Design Awards; Pantone Hotel Brussels Wins "Fewer than 100 Rooms" Category

Travel + Leisure magazine has polled a panel of seven distinguished judges and named this year's list of best-designed hotels, resorts and more.

The winner in the "Fewer Than 100 Rooms" category is the colorful but simple Pantone Hotel in Brussels, Belgium. The 61-room hotel features mostly white walls, but floors and rooms are accessorized with pops of color taken straight from the Pantone Matching System, a standardized color spectrum used by design and manufacturing industries. Pantone products of all sorts are also for sale at the hotel, ranging from vibrant furniture to monochromatic mugs.

"Pantone is clever, but not 'cute,' exactly what a small hotel should be," says juror David Childs, who is the man behind the now-in-construction One World Trade Center, among many other things.
