Hotel Mercure Last but not least, complementary to these archetypal items, on the main facade we have inserted a graphical collage of cultural symbols that takes the story further. Upon a crop of the entablement of the Romanian Athenaeum floats a pair of muses "descending" from the ceiling of the music salon of the museum George Enescu - double tribute to two great local symbols: Romanian Athenaeum (50m away from the hotel) and the great composer George Enescu, which gives the name of the street on which the hotel is located. The technical process we used to accomplish the modern “fresco” is a very actual architectural solution: Website: www.ageasbowl.com | the World Of Hospitality we used CNC perforated panels, placed at a certain distance from the facade support, creating the look and feel of depth by alternating light and shade. The hotel consists in some 6500 sqm of GBA, 2 basements and 7 floors above ground, having 114 rooms. Images: Cosmin Dragomir - www.cosmindragomir.info 41
