Een hotelkamer op maat van jouw gemoedstoestand

Een trendy adresje voor wie in Brussel wil logeren: het Pantone hotel. Het gerenommeerde magazine Travel + Leisure heeft deze accomodatie recent terecht uitgeroepen tot het beste designhotel ter wereld met minder dan honderd kamers. Best van al: het kleurenpalet van de kamer stemt overeen met jouw emotie op dat moment.

Kleur staat dus helemaal centraal in het gebouw uit de jaren zestig dat ingericht werd door de architect Olivier Hannaert en interieurontwerper Michel Penneman in samenwerking met kleurenspecialust Pantone. De basiskleur is wit waardoor de andere tinten sterk contrasteren. Je kan kiezen tussen kamers ingericht volgens zeven verschillende kleurenthema's naar gelang jouw stemming en emotie. Zelfs de flesjes shampoo passen in het concept.

Het hotel dat zich net naast de Louiselaan bevindt, heeft in totaal 59 kamers waarvan de meeste beschikken over een panoramisch uitzicht over de stad en sommige kijken uit op de rustige Place Loix. Als kers op de taart herbergt de achtste verdieping een dakterras. In de winkel van het hotel zijn allerlei hebbedingen verkrijgbaar, gaande van hippe meubelstukken tot opvallende iPhone cases.

Logeren kan hier al vanaf 69 euro per nacht.
Adres: Place Loix 1, 1060 Brussel

Booking a Room at the Pantone Hotel in Brussels

Pantone’s standardised colour-matching system is used by designers and printers the world over, but this is the first time the concept has ever been applied to a hotel. And what a success it’s been: the 61-room Pantone Hotel has won several awards — including Travel + Leisure magazine’s 2011 Best Design Hotel (with fewer than 100 rooms) Award — since opening its doors in May 2010.

The once-decrepit building was bought by Israeli brothers Avi and Ilan Haim, who brought in designer Michel Penneman and architect Olivier Hannaert — who together came up with the concept. It’s bright, breezy and exciting to say you've stayed in a world first!

The basic premise is that all the rooms are a blank canvas of white walls and linen, with long-haired black carpet (beware asthma sufferers), in order to draw attention to the panel photograph mounted above each bed - which lights up at night. Taken by Belgian photographer Victor Levy, these photographs feature an obscure Brussels’ site magnified many times to emphasise the pure pantone colours — arty, eh? All the bedrooms on the same floor feature the same subject taken in a slightly different way.For example, on the ‘red’ floor the photos feature different details of a railway bridge near Bruxelles Midi train station.

Each floor has its own colour (1= blue, 2=green, 3=purple, 4=yellow, 5= orange, 6 = red, 7 = bronze) and they keep bookings as flexible as possible, so when you check in they can ask you what colour/mood you’re in and assign you to a floor accordingly. Notice the Pantone-coloured lights in the halls!

Rooms ending in six (ie: 106, 206, 306, 406, 506 and 606) all sit at the corner of the building and, as a result, have panoramic views and a small terrace. Room 606, however, is a special one: the bathroom is small and only has a shower, but unlike the others it has an enormous terrace with superb views.

Meanwhile, the rooms on the top floor — 801 and 802 — are different. They don’t follow the pantone theme; instead, the side walls slide open and you have rooftop views across the Lower Town. Depending on demand, these rooms aren’t offered in summer and, instead, the area is converted into a rooftop bar for all the clients.
