巴庫(kù)因圖麗斯酒店無論從規(guī)模還是品質(zhì)都堪稱精品，倫敦MKV Design打造出獨(dú)一無二的愉悅氛圍，她既可以是一處可愛的家庭歡聚地，亦能搖身一變作為私人會(huì)所。事實(shí)上，巴庫(kù)早于1934年便有了第一家因圖麗斯酒店，人們心中對(duì)于那個(gè)年代的美好記憶自然成為今天酒店的優(yōu)勢(shì)，建筑師Reardon Smith將那棟古老地標(biāo)的建筑風(fēng)格帶入酒店以滿足人們的懷舊感，不過這間21世紀(jì)的“繼任者”顯然也有自己的敘述手法——將酒店鼎盛時(shí)期的裝飾風(fēng)格引入其中的同時(shí)，從不掩蓋自我的格調(diào)。

outique in quality and scale， the interiors of the Intourist Hotel bestow a sense of exclusive pleasure. It might be a lovely family home and the guests'personal friends of the owner. It also has a special cachet which derives from fond memories of Baku's first Intourist Hotel which opened in 1934 and， indeed， the hotel architect， Reardon Smith， have designed a building styled to look very similar to the old icon. However， this 21st century successor has a narrative that is clearly its own； allusions to the heyday of the earlier hotel infuse the interior design， but never overwhelm it.

Beginning of the Experience

探索的開始

酒店一層經(jīng)過精心策劃以滿足賓客在私密空間內(nèi)的一切需要：放松、工作、社交亦或用餐。大堂入口處呈流線型構(gòu)造，自然地將客流引至下一個(gè)區(qū)域，這一路并不乏味枯燥：角落里時(shí)而出現(xiàn)的有趣物件兒，拐彎時(shí)驚鴻一瞥的窗外風(fēng)景，都令人不得不嘆服設(shè)計(jì)師對(duì)酒店每一個(gè)角落的精雕細(xì)琢。三張接待臺(tái)被充滿金屬質(zhì)感的銀色高光澤漆包裹全身，優(yōu)雅端坐于設(shè)計(jì)師選擇的木質(zhì)落地窗格前，充分彰顯20世紀(jì)中葉的設(shè)計(jì)風(fēng)格。這些木質(zhì)窗格與等高的落地紗簾，連同瀑布般懸垂而下的華麗水晶吊燈一起，形成強(qiáng)大的向心力將整個(gè)空間的視覺焦點(diǎn)凝聚于此，并帶領(lǐng)客人前往下一處不同的場(chǎng)所。

The ground floor spaces have been carefully planned to provide a series of different opportunities for guests to relax， work， socialise and dine， all within a relatively small footprint. The spaces flow naturally from the entrance lobby， leading guests into the next area with intriguing glimpses and carefully composed views. Three elegant reception desks finished in silver metallic high gloss lacquer sit in front of decorative timber screens styled by MKV to suggest a mid-20th century design. These screens， coupled with full height sheers， recur through the ground floor and together with a magnificent cascade of ceiling pendants that swirls through the public areas like an unfurling sail， holding the spaces together and leading the guest on through each experience.

Stream-lined and Varied

精簡(jiǎn)而多樣

客房風(fēng)格現(xiàn)代簡(jiǎn)約，暗藏?zé)舻娜峁忭б鉃M房間的每個(gè)角落；水晶浮雕墻紙裝飾的墻面在暖色調(diào)的光線下更顯魅力。所有套房都可遠(yuǎn)眺里海景色，大花白大理石鋪設(shè)而就的寬大浴室為賓客平添奢華感受。

通往大堂吧的走廊被賦予了額外的功能——擴(kuò)大了一倍的走廊更近似于一間圖書室，各類書籍整齊排列于玻璃書架上，陽(yáng)光溜進(jìn)來，慵懶地照射在位于走道兩旁的閱讀房。這里，優(yōu)雅的弧形沙發(fā)與銅質(zhì)屏風(fēng)上的細(xì)工浮雕相互呼應(yīng)，地毯的設(shè)計(jì)則充分體現(xiàn)了細(xì)節(jié)上的幾何美感。

走廊一頭的大堂吧內(nèi)，噼啪燃燒的壁爐嵌入宏偉的雨林綠大理石墻，共同形成獨(dú)特背景，其間擺滿訂制的當(dāng)代家私。大理石墻的另一側(cè)恰好為酒吧構(gòu)成獨(dú)立空間，并指引賓客探索下一站。

The corridor leading to the lounge is given additional purpose by doubling as a library with book-lined glass shelves allowing light through into the cosy reading room on each side. ）

The guestrooms are modern and streamlined. Hidden lighting washes the room in soft light； a feature wall with crystal embossed wallpaper adds a further touch of glamour. All the suites overlook the Caspian Sea and benefit from particularly generous wet rooms clad in Arabescato marble.

The corridor leading to the lounge is given additional purpose by doubling as a library with book-lined glass shelves allowing light through into the cosy reading room on each side. Here， the elegant curved sofas echo the fretwork patina of the screens while the design of the rug picks up on the geometry of much of the detailing.

The corridor frames a wood-burning fire beyond， contained within a wall of magnificent green forest marble which forms a fabulous backdrop in the lounge which is replete with collections of original contemporary furniture. On the other side， the marble wall encloses the bar， leading the guests to the next space.

Inheriting the Past

古老的傳承

酒吧的光線透過白色云石燈打到黑胡桃木質(zhì)天花上，墻上的古董黃銅裝飾忽隱忽現(xiàn)。MKV精心設(shè)計(jì)了這些“穿過”云石的吊燈，從大堂吧一直延伸到酒吧，富于藝術(shù)氣息的同時(shí)又巧妙無比地掩蓋了空調(diào)的行蹤。題材為航海木筏的藝術(shù)裝置就安裝在燈箱圍繞的中央畫布上，做成類似舷窗的框架掛在吧臺(tái)之上，似要描繪出一只也許曾經(jīng)在阿塞拜疆這個(gè)航海國(guó)家起航過的古老船只。木質(zhì)地板由M.C.Escher風(fēng)格的六角形面板組成，一張巨大無比的之字形桌臺(tái)橫跨了整個(gè)酒吧空間。

餐廳是整個(gè)酒店空間序列中最后的公共場(chǎng)所，它由一間狹長(zhǎng)的房間與幾處結(jié)構(gòu)立柱構(gòu)成。通過給立柱包裹鏡面，使用紗簾和回紋型屏風(fēng)，MKV已經(jīng)克服了建筑自身潛在的空間難題。更巧妙的設(shè)計(jì)是，其中一些屏風(fēng)可以自由滑動(dòng)來關(guān)閉部分餐廳或者營(yíng)造出氛圍更加私密的場(chǎng)所。

The hint of a sea-going raft is apparent in these boxes， an idea picked up in a printed canvas， set into a porthole-shaped frame over the bar， which depicts an ancient ship as might once have set sail from the seafaring nation of Azerbaijan.）

The antiqued brass of the bar glimmers under shafts of lighting slicing through dark walnut timber and white lacquer boxes suspended from the ceiling in a crafted design by MKV which \"cuts through\" the marble wall from the lounge， serving to obscure the A/C at the same time. The hint of a sea-going raft is apparent in these boxes， an idea picked up in a printed canvas， set into a porthole-shaped frame over the bar， which depicts an ancient ship as might once have set sail from the seafaring nation of Azerbaijan. The timber flooring is composed of hexagonal panels in M.C. Escher fashion and a striking zig-zag table traverses the bar space.

The restaurant is the final space in the sequence of public areas - a long room with several structural columns. MKV has overcome the potential hardness of the space by clothing the columns with mirror and decorating them with sheers and fretwork screens， several of which can slide together to close off part of the restaurant and create an intimate evening destination.
