These days, hotel design has become pretty much commonplace and cookie-cutter. For example, the current bedding trend of stark white linens and a colorful scarf across the bottom third of the bed is now appearing in every hotel worldwide. Where is the originality in that?
Enter The Marmara Hotels & Residences, a Turkish hotel group which places strong emphasis on unique design for each one of its hotels. The company's philosophy toward design is considered "not static but dynamic."
The Marmara Sisli recently opened in Istanbul with a unique design aesthetic: a modern interpretation of 1950s style. The Marmara Sisli's “Nano” rooms offer the most affordable option with all the necessities and amenities in a chic, comfortable, and cheerful setting. Guest accommodations also include "Square" rooms (as pictured at right) and 13 “Wagon” rooms designed to resemble individual train compartments giving the entire floor the appearance of a train.
The Marmara Bodrum was designed by renowned French interior designer Christian Allart. Here, Allart works magic taking historic and sometimes generic Turkish elements and repurposing them. For example, indigenous stones are used as doorknobs; intricately carved stamps used to decorate fabrics in ancient times are now wall art; and wooden “saddles” which people once rode horses on are now coffee tables and settees (like the one at right). The result is stunning and sophisticated.
The Marmara Antalya, also envisioned by Allart, features a beach resort come to life. Here, the rooms in the revolving hotel building (where the entire building revolves 360 degrees so guests always have a new view!) are like the ultimate beach party INDOORS with beach style furniture indoors, ice cream shop pastel colors, and natural elements like cement all playing second fiddle to the incredible views out the window. And nothing is more unique than the hotel’s “Tuti” concept (at left) which is an entire floor of the hotel featuring columns for “technology,” “dining,” "art," and more. At the base of the technology column there are laptops for guest’s use. At the base of the dining column is the restaurant, etc.
