At the heart of Frankfurt is the recently opened 5-star-hotel
Sofitel Opera. Not only does it provide a luxurious sense of
comfort, but also a unique experience through the combination
of the mid-century French Design style with the contemporary
and modern culture of the city itself.
“All of these handmade pieces
make a statement through the high-
quality fabrics used and the colour
combination. It fits perfectly within the
charm of the hotel.”
This stunning palace at Opernplatz first opened in October 2016
to show the world the infinite possibilities of luxury and creativity,
being the main inspiration for the architecture of the 17th and
18th centuries in today’s world. This concept was developed by
Nicolas Adnet from MHNA Paris. As they describe themselves,
they intend to offer “(…) a certain vision of elegance, a cultured,
respectful and approving look at history", and this was exactly
what they managed to do in this project in Germany.
As you come to the Hotel, you are overwhelmed with the lobby's
refreshing feeling of elegance and sophistication, and you have a
similar yet exclusive experience in each of the 120 rooms. The entire
concept relies on this magical sense of standing in a wonderland
where everything is extraordinary. And it truly is. The grace of
every detail throughout the corridors lead the guests to astonishing
places within the hotel, making them feel and believe in an artistic
and conceptual design style.
Every single feature of the project was carefully thought out,
such as Lili’s Bar. Named after Lili Schönenmann, the great love
of Goethe's life, the hotel bar is a perfectly shaped design with
the most beautiful and high-end quality furniture by BRABBU.
The entire space is fulfilled with luxury design pieces by this
Portuguese design force which also contributes to enriching
the poetic and romantic idea behind the project. Lili's Bar is a
sophisticated space, perfect for a leisure or business meeting.
Together with the graciousness of the staff, the entire atmosphere
provides you with a soothing and refine date. The strength and
naturality embodied in the furniture add personality and character
to the design that, when combined with the concept behind, it
makes Lili's Bar a powerful and influential place to enjoy. The
design features BRABBU’s Kansas armchair, MAA armchair and
the stunning MAASAI sofa. All of these handmade pieces make
a statement through the high-quality fabrics used and the colour
combination. It fits perfectly within the charm of the hotel.
Both the Hotel and the Bar Design are living celebrations of interior
design and L’Arte de Vivre that characterizes the French design
style. In Frankfurt, one of the most important cities in Germany,
stands a great palace that carries memories, history and culture.
