Natural Semantics: Boscolo Hotel Exedra Nice, Nice

The luxury hotel is set in a majestic building of elaborate stuccos and façade decorations.

The property is in the heart of Nice, along the Victor Hugo grand boulevard.

The project entailed remodeling the building's right part.

On its ground floor are the hotel's common spaces, including a bar, conference center and breakfast room.

The concept that informed the project was to create a contemporary version of the Belle Epoque lines of the lavish historic envelope.

Comfortable materials were used to merge the two styles, evoking the rich atmospheres of Italian style.

A recurring design element is the lighted surfaces and installations along the walls and ceilings on several floors, underscoring the space's qualities.

The bar space on the ground floor is positioned to be immediately visible, distinctly evoking nature and its gentle, harmonious lines.

The sculptural bar counter finished in white Corian welcomes guests in an appealing atmosphere of Burma teak boiserie walls and lighted ceilings.

The colors of the breakfast room are warmer, including teak wood floors, concealed lights of warm hues and boiserie.
