The Manotel Group operates six distinctive hotels, each with its own unique concept, standing apart from the others while sharing the group’s core hospitality values. This hotel, known as “the most Swiss in Geneva,” offers guests an authentic experience reminiscent of a traditional Swiss chalet. The hotel Edelweiss restaurant space has been reimagined and redesigned by  Carré Lumière to make it more modern while preserving the distinctive features of a mountain hotel. The project blends traditional elements—such as natural wood and exposed stone—with clean lines and contemporary furnishings, creating an ambiance that feels both comforting and modern. Every detail, from soft lighting to warm fabrics contrasted with cool-toned materials, has been carefully selected to evoke the tranquility of a mountain retreat, all while situated in the heart of the city.

The M3 Group has a clear idea of launching a new concept of hospitality; imagining hotels with an original, unique, extravagant design, new worlds where you can live unique experiences. As for roms project, also for the public areas the client had his own precise vision of style and design to be researched. Consistency, stylistic harmony with the rooms, aesthetics, functionality and integration of the HOME concept within the realization were the fundamental points around which to rotate the entire project. We took care of the realization of all the custom furniture and of the supply of the freestanding elements such as chairs, tables, benches. To recall the rooms design and concept, essential lines were preferred and tubular structures were used just like for the “Meuble de Vie” and “chariot” of the rooms. We were able to perfectly integrate the HOME concepT, which represented for us a project in the project, with the rest of the public areas spaces. Our technicians, designers and architects worked together to give to each element the functional and aesthetic characteristics. Each piece of furniture, such as the bar counter in the Marmont restaurant and café, was embellished by a light play and the particular materials. The essential lines and colors of the furniture were combined with purchase elements with the most striking and bright colors. The result is a hotel inspired by the heART. 

Our collaboration with Manotel Group has been going on for more than 15 years and we already taken care of the complete design and furnishings for rooms and public areas of the Hotel N’vy***S, collaborating with Patrick Ribes. This year we were commissioned to redesign the breakfast area and the “zone of ciel étoilé”. The purpose was to make these spaces suitable for a plurality of uses embracing the new trend in the hotel sector “design a new conviviality”. So, we realized environments that can be lived in different ways, creating spaces in which guests can work, have breakfast, do a business breakfast or relax. Each space is thus exploited to the fullest. To make this possible, no major changes were needed. In fact we elaborated a simple project that provided the insertion of different types of seats (standard, lounge, high) and tables adapts to different uses. The “zone du ciel étoilé” was made more alternative and emotional, a kind of waiting room where guests can relax. Of course, to maintain the original and unique style of the entiere Hotel, we played on the choice of colors and inserted articles of famous design brands.  

In 2015 the Client decided to renovate the Hotel. In order to achieve a better result, we suggested demolishing the old building and rebuild, preserving only the facade on one of the main streets of Nyon. Step through the door to find yourself immersed in an intimate atmosphere of cosy cocooning dominated by soothing shades of sand, black, taupe and copper. The 21 rooms are available in three categories: Standard, Superior and Superior Lake View. Each of the rooms in this unique boutique hotel in Nyon has been designed to offer its guests a special moment of comfort and privacy. Nestled on the top floor of the Hotel are a Junior Suite and the Castle Suite, which offer discretion, refinement and elegance. Both benefit from a lounge area and breath-taking views on the magnificent surroundings, with views of Nyon Castle, Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc. The restaurant’s position within the glass veranda at the heart of the Ambassador Boutique Hotel offers diners a bright and refined setting. Its private terrace benefits from a soothing atmosphere, far from the noise and bustle of the city.

The building, in addition to being completely renovated both from an aesthetic and plant engineering point of view, has been raised by two floors made of glass and steel, in full contrast with the architectural style of the six existing floors. In a second phase and in collaboration with the Taiwanese architect Celia Chu, we created the public areas of the ground floor, the rooms, suites, lounge and fitness areas on the seventh and eighth floor. The previously dull atmosphere was overhauled with a picturesque garden view in the public space. By transforming the natural elements and colours into a modern design language, the Hotel can welcome its guests with the most comfortable hospitality. The restaurant “Seventy5” and bar integrates local design and cultural elements, so that guests will feel like they are in a traditional kitchen or eatery, while also enjoying fashionable and youthful vibes. The bar offers leisurely and relaxing moments to everyone, with hints of lavender in its colour scheme.

For this Hotel we decided to involve as art director architect Guglielmo Ori, in order to give an elegant, but contemporary style to the Hotel. Just a stone’s throw from the lively Langstrasse district and not far from the city centre, the Crowne Plaza Zurich has a sparkling style, characterized by a perfectly harmonious stylistic dialogue between the public areas and the rest of the Hotel. In the breakfast area the light tones of calacatta marble combined with pastel colours accompany the customer in a relaxing chromatic-sensory experience. In stark contrast, the style of the restaurant and bar, visible from the street through very fine copper-coloured metal mesh, is characterized by black marble cladding enlivened by furnishing elements with metal finishes ranging from silver to gold, copper and chairs in elegant, yet decisive tones. In the hall the colours are bright and guests are welcomed by soft tones, enlivened by more intense touches of colour in the seats that create a lively and modern ambience. A perfect combination of functionality and style. In this project we took care of all the aspects and phases of the renovation; in addition to the restyling with which we wanted to impress the client by creating custom elements designed by Architect Guglielmo Ori, we also took care of the plant engineering and coordination of the site in all the executive steps.
