To breathe new life into its prestigious address on rue de la Montagne, The Four Seasons Hotel Montreal partnered with celebrated Montreal design firm Atelier Zébulon Perron, which for the past 10 years has created some of Montreal’s most engaging and compelling spaces. Known for designs that reflect his clients’ personalities, Zébulon Perron has devised a space that embodies the singular vision of its partners, Carbonleo, Four Seasons Hotel Montreal and celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson, refined yet organic design with a focus on social ergonomics. The result is MARCUS, a fusion of design and experience based on social ergonomics and contemporary taste. MARCUS offers immersive spaces that are sophisticated yet approachable. They are inspired by circadian rhythms in which each moment is designed to be a novel, one-of-a-kind experience for hotel guests and Montrealers alike—from the floating velvet bench in the lounge, to the prismatic lighting cast by the crystal wall, to the leather banquettes in the restaurant and the terrace’s sun-drenched tables overlooking the city.
For The Four Seasons Hotel Montreal, Atelier Zébulon Perron helped develop a new concept, the Social Square. This sprawling third-floor space represents the city’s characteristic social ecosystem, where both hotel guests and locals are welcomed to eat, drink, and experience the hotel’s unique luxury ecosystem. The Social Square encompasses both the hotel’s lobby as well as MARCUS, a lounge, bar, restaurant and terrace concept by Michelin-starred chef and restaurateur Marcus Samuelsson. No matter from where they arrive—whether from the hotel, from the street, or the adjoining Holt Renfrew Ogilvy luxury department store—visitors can always access MARCUS, a space completely integrated into the ethos of the hotel, the neighborhood, and the city. The lounge, bar, restaurant and terrace of MARCUS represent four distinct worlds that overlap and complement each other, while each seamlessly blends into the hotel’s contemporary architecture. In a reference to chef Samuelsson’s seafood creations, the lounge suggests a theme reminiscent of the ocean. In contrast, the bar gives the impression of being in an enchanted forest, offering an exclusive, intimate experience. The restaurant’s charm lies in its combination of opposites, balancing elegance and warmth with minimalism and modernity.
From acoustics, to lighting, to ergonomics and scale, no detail has been overlooked—everything from the positioning of the furniture to the ceiling heights is treated as an opportunity to encourage interaction. The project was driven by a desire for durability and timelessness, as shown by the choice of colors and premium materials including marble, brass, white oak and velvet. Atelier Zébulon Perron played with volumes and materials to create an unforgettable interior that manifests a social, sensory experience. But most importantly—from the crab in its glass cube that greets visitors in the foyer, to the display of seafood delicacies and the luxurious cold room at the restaurant’s entrance, the designers remind us that at MARCUS, it is ultimately the cuisine of chef Marcus Samuelsson that still takes center stage.
MARCUS는 몬트리올의 포시즌즈 호텔 3층에 위치한 레스토랑이다. Atelier Zébulon Perron와 Carbonleo, 포시즌스 호텔, 셰프 Marcus Samuelsson의 협업을 통해 인체공학과 현대적 취향을 바탕으로 디자인과 경험이 융합된 MARCUS가 탄생했다. MARCUS는 세련되면서도 접근성이 뛰어난 몰입형 공간을 제공한다. 라운지의 벨벳 쇼파, 크리스탈로 장식된 프리즘 조명, 레스토랑의 연회장과 테라스의 햇빛이 비치는 테이블 등 호텔 투숙객과 몬트리올 주민 모두에게 참신하고 독특한 경험을 제공한다.
포시즌스 호텔 몬트리올을 위해 Atelier Zébulon Perron은 소셜 스퀘어라는 새로운 개념을 개발했다. 이 3층 공간은 호텔 투숙객과 현지인 모두가 호텔 특유의 럭셔리한 공간을 즐기고, 마시고, 체험할 수 있는 도시 특유의 사회 생태계를 대표한다. 소셜 스퀘어는 호텔 로비뿐만 아니라 거리, 인접한 Holt Renfrew Ogilvy 백화점에서 접근할 수 있다. MARCUS는 호텔, 동네, 도시와 완벽하게 통합된 공간이다. MARCUS의 라운지, 바, 레스토랑, 테라스는 서로 중첩되고 상호 보완되는 4개의 각각 다른 공간으로 나뉘어 진다, 각각 호텔의 현대 건축물과 매끄럽게 어우러진다. 셰프 Marcus Samuelsson의 해산물 요리에서 영감을 얻은 라운지는 바다를 연상시킨다. 대조적으로, 바는 마치 숲에 있는 듯한 느낌을 주며, 독점적이고 친밀한 경험을 제공한다. 레스토랑의 매력은 극과 극으로 조화를 이루며 우아함과 따뜻함을 동시에 미니멀리즘과 모던함이 조화를 이룬다는 데 있다.
