Cement tiles at Hotel Marsil in Cologne
In the past, before Hotel Marsil opened its doors, a trendy bar, which played electronic music from the loudspeakers, attracted the artist and gallery scene that celebrated in the house on Marsilstein until the early hours of the morning.
Martin Bachem, an architect friend of the two owners, who happened to be at the counter in the electric bar earlier, then implemented this very personal and characterful renovation of the hotel.
Classic terrazzo floors have been combined with Art Deco style tiles, which are directly connected to floral cement tiles that caress the kitchen. The tiles laid seamlessly together are intended to give the impression that walls have been broken out and the individual rooms have been connected to form a large whole. Mosáico cement tiles were also used in the rooms, more specifically in the bathrooms. There, our Jakob Hentze artist edition picked up on the free spirit of the exhibiting artists and thus rounded off the room concept.
The owners, both also photographers, travel around the world a lot and are not typical hoteliers. It was important to them that Maison Marsil should be a place for their guests where they feel at home. After spending a night at Hotel Marsil myself as the author of this blog, I can only say that the participants more than succeeded. A stylish, well-designed hotel that focuses on comfort. The friendly service does the rest to make a stay at Maison Marsil a successful stay and its guests regular guests.
Thank you for the wonderful cooperation, the friendly phone call and the lovely local service.
