Info

In the spring of this year the rooms of our hotel were completely renovated. As was the case ten years ago, this work was led by the well-known London designer and owner of the MKV Design studio, Maria Vafiadis. The crowning work on the new appearance of the Hotel Alcron, involving the renovation of the hotel hall, restaurants and bar will also be performed under her care. And where does Maria Vafiadis find her inspiration? We discovered the answer in the interview she gave us for our magazine. The Alcron through the Eyes of Maria Vafiadis Letní uzávûrka restaurace Alcron a nedûlního Jazz Brunche Restaurace Alcron bude uzavfiena od 14. ãervence do 10. srpna. Nedûlní Jazz Brunch otevfie své dvefie opût 31. srpna. Summer closure of Alcron Restaurant and Sunday Jazz Brunch The Alcron Restaurant will be closed from July 14 to August 10. The Sunday Jazz Brunch will open its door again on August 31. Voda Voss v Alcronu V hotelu Alcron si nyní mÛÏete vybrat ze ‰ir‰í nabídky vod. Novinkou je voda Voss, jedna z nejãist‰ích vod z jiÏního Norska, ãerpaná z artézsk˘ch studen. Pro nízk˘ obsah minerálÛ se voda Voss obzvlá‰tû hodí k vínÛm. Doporuãujeme ji pfiedev‰ím k na‰im wine tasting menu. Oko pohladí také plnû recyklovan˘ obal, kter˘ vytvofiil dfiívûj‰í designer Calvina Kleina. Na zdraví! Water Voss in the Alcron The Alcron has expanded its selection of bottled waters. You can now choose our new Voss Water, bottled at an artesian spring in the pristine wilderness of Southern Norway. Due to the low amount of minerals, we suggest combining the water with a fine wine. The iconic 100% recyclable bottle was designed by the former creative director for Calvin Klein. What was your first impression of the Hotel Alcron when you were first offered the opportunity to be part of the reconstruction? I was taken by the actual hotel building, which radiated something that can’t be described. I felt the soul of the building, perhaps. This was very inspirational. The hotel was already closed by then and many things had been irretrievably lost; we were forced to imagine how things had been. Where did you look for inspiration? During the first reconstruction project we spent a lot of time walking around the city looking at various buildings. We visited archives and looked at many photographs that had preserved the Alcron’s past. The reconstruction was primarily influenced by Prague and the hotel itself. During the recent renovations of the rooms we again studied Prague and its trends. Prague had grown in the meantime and had adapted to the modern period. We imagined what the Alcron would be like today. This is why the design of the rooms is more modern, but the same philosophy still applies. For example, the use of zebrano or chrome materials is typical for the period in which the hotel was originally created. That is why we used them again for our recent work. Likewise, mirrors were popular at the beginning of the past century, as they made spaces look majestic, grand, and magical. The overall goal for the renovation was to design rooms in a modern spirit, though not entirely minimalist. We wanted to use warm colors and to create a general impression that was elegant, refined and exclusive. Are the 1930s and Art Deco a special interest of yours? While I personally like Art Deco, my goal was not to renovate the hotel strictly in that style and to turn the Alcron into a museum. My aim was to combine Art Deco details with modern and contemporary elements. This building is special on its own and so we let ourselves be guided by the Alcron itself. That was our inspiration. Which parts of the hotel remained unchanged? The preserved and restored parts include the Functionalist marble staircase with brass railing, which was only cleaned. The Art Deco fireplace now located in the Alcron Restaurant remained unchanged. A glass wall was built over the fireplace to divide the restaurant from the hall. We used Verde Guatemala marble for the facing of the staircase and columns; in doing so we were able to precisely copy the original material. The same was true for the marble floor. Other parts of the hotel that had to be preserved in their original condition were the wooden elements in the La Rotonde restaurant, the ceiling and crystal chandeliers. Where did you acquire the decorative elements? Are any of these originals? We visited many antique shops in Prague, which at the time were unique and inexpensive. It was uninfluenced by globalization, as is now the case in other design stores. We also found certain details in London and Paris. You can see these elements in the hall, on the staircase and in the presidential suite. The work of Tamara de Lempicka was used on the walls in the reconstruction of the Alcron Restaurant. Why exactly did you choose her? That was done by feel. I was looking for something interesting for the oval shape of the Alcron Restaurant. We needed something simple - a single element to fill that wall. The painting was made in London on the basis of one original by Tamara de Lempicka. But it’s not an exact copy. Is it possible to preserve the Art Deco style with a modern interpretation? We are certainly trying. How do you see the future of hotel interiors? I believe they will focus more on individuality and uniqueness. In today’s period of globalization people will become increasingly tired of the style of life; this isn’t good. The only possibility is to take a path of singularity. This is one way design can last. The same is true for the Alcron, which isn’t a copy of something that already existed. The hotel must preserve its own distinct individuality.
