酒店共有162间客房，一间全日餐厅，一间维多利式风格餐厅和零售拱廊，一个无边屋顶泳池以及各种活动亭和平台。作为知名Design Hotels™设计酒店名录中的一员，Prestige酒店在槟城有着独一无二的地位，更是一处能为客人们带来真正度假体验的旅途港湾。The hotel features 162 rooms, an all-day dining restaurant, a rooftop infinity pool, events pavilion and terrace, and a vibrant Victorian dining and retail arcade. The first of its kind in Penang, The Prestige Hotel is a destination in itself offering an authentic travel experience and is part of the prestigious Design Hotels™ portfolio.
“A Touch of Magic in a Tropical, Victorian Eden”设计的主要概念围绕维多利亚时代的殖民地文化遗产和热带地区的气候环境展开，而设计团队在考察场地条件时发现了一个棘手的问题，即狭长的场地格局很可能导致酒店中的零售拱廊区域或客房廊道带给旅客单调乏味的空间体验。While the colonial Victorian heritage and tropics are key elements of the design concept, the studio considered a particularly difficult condition of the site, i.e. its long narrow proportions which potentially made navigating the hotel’s retail arcade or its long guestroom corridors a monotonous experience.![]()
为了克服这一难题，设计团队通过采用视觉上的一些“小诡计”，巧用魔术与错觉的手法，以此创造出愉悦的空间，为客人带来难忘的体验。这种视觉上的“小诡计”巧妙地贯穿于酒店的所有空间中，其中包括传统地面图案以及家具设计的转化，例如定制的前台接待台，看起来就像是神奇地立在球体之上。设计师还创新性地采用了店中店的概念来打破线形地块，并在首层创造出令人愉悦的零售商铺界面。To overcome this, the studio introduced elements of visual trickery and surprise, notions of magic and illusions, with the end goal of creating delightful spaces and memorable guest experiences. This element of visual trickery is subtly introduced throughout the hotel; ranging from transformation of familiar heritage floor patterns, furniture design such as the custom reception desk that seems to magically balance on balls.

“Elements of visual animation and trickery: Smoke & Mirrors”“视觉动画及讨巧错觉元素：Smoke & Mirrors”首层的下客区，通过采用黑白图案的地面，微妙地将接待处、温室餐厅以及零售空间整合起来，仿佛在眼前呈现“出现与消失”的魔法幻象。在接待区域，设计团队借用了许多好玩儿的魔术幻觉手法，客人们需要经过由白色大理石和黄铜部件组成的迷宫地面才能到达前台。定制的接待台由镜面不锈钢制成，并像被施了法似的立在了铬合金球体之上，而接待台背后的弧形墙面采用了云朵图案护壁板，在维多利亚室内风格的基础上展现出古灵精怪的现代设计元素。At the Ground Floor drop-off, one subtle intervention to unify the Reception with the Glasshouse Restaurant and retail spaces, is the black-and-white floor pattern, which seems to magically “appear and disappear” before your eyes. In the reception area, we introduced several tongue-in-cheek references to magical illusion, where guests navigate a custom designed white marble-clad maze with brass trimmings on the floor, to get to the reception. The custom reception desk made of mirrored stainless steel, magically appears to balance on chrome spheres, and a cloud wainscot adorns the curved wall behind the reception desk, showing a modern whimsical take on Victorian interiors.![]()

设计团队将明暗交替的色彩方案运用于客房廊道的设计之中，由此打破因狭长走廊格局带来的乏味感。走廊墙面上有序地排布着一盏盏壁灯，机械化的特色照明有规律地旋转着，并透过格状材料映射出错综斑驳的光影，产生奇迹般的动画旅程。这种视觉动画及讨巧错觉手段，其实是借助了魔法幻象中的经典技术“烟雾和镜子（smoke and mirrors）”，由此呼应不寻常的场地特色。The studio alternated dark and light color schemes along the guestroom corridors, to break down the potential monotony of the corridor experience. Mechanized light features were placed at regular intervals, to rotate and cast shadows of intricate lattice patterns to animate the guest journey. This visual animation and trickery (smoke and mirrors) was thus borne out of a response to the unusual specificity of the site.![]()

酒店被命名为“The Prestige”，意在希望能如魔法般地召唤出优雅精致的酒店品牌形象，并且其灵感也来自于由Christian Bale主演的电影《致命魔术》（The Prestige），背景同样设定在维多利亚时代，讲述了关于魔术的幻觉艺术。Named “The Prestige” to conjure brand imagery of elegance and sophistication, it also takes cues from the movie The Prestige starring Christian Bale, which was set in the Victorian era, (similar to the area’s context) about the illusory art of magic.

温室餐厅（The Glasshouse）的设计灵感来自于英国维多利亚风格的温室。餐厅中将格状金属框架与玻璃窗相组合，营造出温室花园般的惬意氛围，为客人们提供早午晚餐的多种选择。沙发靠枕采用了热带植被图案，与周围的绿色植物完美交融，打造出一个迷人的“热带伊甸园”。镜子作为魔术中无处不在的道具，也被运用于餐厅的墙面上，创造出多重空间的错觉。The inspiration for The Glasshouse came from the English Victorian conservatory. The studio applied the lattice pattern to the metal framed walls and glazing of the Glasshouse restaurant, presenting it as a delightful garden conservatory for breakfasts, lunches and dinners. A mix of real plants and tropical prints were used for the sofa cushions to add to the allure of being in a “Tropical Eden”. The mirror, a ubiquitous tool for the magician, is deliberately used to clad the end walls to create the optical illusion of multiple rooms. ![]()

坐电梯可以到达二层和三层，而四层则是活动空间，是一处有着现代维多利亚风格与当地植被层叠交融景色的聚集地。四层还有一个设备齐全的健身房以及一个开阔的活动区域。顶楼的无边泳池是一个可以边喝鸡尾酒边看日落的绝佳场地，这里面向教堂街码头，能俯瞰周围的海景。Taking the lift to the room levels on L2-3, and to the Event spaces on L4, is a confluence of modern Victorian layered with local botany. The top floor, Level 4, houses a fully equipped gym and a generous events area. The infinity-edge roof top pool, is an excellent place to watch the sunset with a cocktail in hand, as it fronts Church Street Pier and overlooks the water. ![]()

Prestige酒店中的所有空间和视觉设计都由Ministry of Design倾力打造，通过对品牌战略、室内设计、景观设计、标识设计、装置艺术和平面设计进行全面整合，实现酒店的完整形象呈现。酒店logo的设计灵感源自于维多利亚时期的饰章，并通过现代设计手法重新演绎，层叠的线条再次借用了错觉手法，并与酒店空间的设计相呼应。左边的“P”代表酒店名字“Prestige”，右边经过镜像的“P”则寓意了酒店所在地槟城（Penang）。
The entire Hotel experience was carefully created and curated by Ministry of Design. The studio is responsible for the holistic brand strategy, interior design, landscape design, signage design, installation art, and graphic design throughout the entire Prestige Hotel. The hotel logo takes its reference from Victorian crests to recreate a modern family crest, in this case, also playing with optical illusion by using lines to suggest the presence of negative spaces. The 1st “P” refers to Prestige; the 2nd “P” hinges on the idea of seeing double yet also situates the hotel in Penang.
