{Been meaning to share this project by the Rockwell Group. It’s an interesting project because it’s an interior renovation of an iconic Canadian hotel - Le Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City.} For the renovation of the historic hotel’s main public spaces, Rockwell Group crafted a design vocabulary based on a modern, approachable luxury that references the hotel’s heritage. The renovation of the main lobby highlights preserved signature pieces and the restoration of historic details. Large Italian blue onyx back lit panels, inspired by the St. Lawrence River, welcome guests in the reception area. The chandeliers were retrofitted and modernized with wire mesh draped panels filtering the light. Bistro Le Sam, which is the former Bar St. Laurent space, lightly draws upon the Chateau’s past as a tourist destination on the Canadian Pacific Railway. Rockwell Group’s linear approach to the floor plan is influenced by vintage train cars, while the furnishings and finishes recall Art Deco and the Jazz Age. The design concept for Le Champlain, the Château’s 198-seat main restaurant, was inspired by a manor house, in a nod to the hotel’s original English architectural details. The restaurant’s existing paneling and stenciled ceilings are preserved, and a palette of luxurious textured materials such as leather, brass and wood in muted hues of purple, grey and beige update the space. Located off of Le Champlain is 1608 Wine & Cheese Bar. The 58-seat bar features an icy color palette of grey, silver, platinum and blue inspired by Quebec’s chilly winters.
