Designed by UXUS for Campanile Hotels’ Villepinte, France outpost, the Campanile restaurant—launched in March—is an approximately 1,300-square-foot eatery that seamlessly blends with the hotel’s lodging component. Representative of the restaurant’s signature gray and green color palette, the check-in desk greets guests beneath large woven light fixtures.
The bar offers simple and modern white seating, with spirits and ingredients displayed in geometric shelving.
The restaurant is a modern reinterpretation of traditional French design elements, such as reclaimed wood and linen wallcoverings. Suspended Edison-style bulbs also feature prominently.
As a company-wide F&B concept, the modern space was designed as a replicable model for other locations, however each property is intended “to personalize and reflect local tastes and design aesthetics,” explains Oliver Michell, chief creative officer and architect at UXUS, who juxtaposed natural materials with playful lighting and scenography, including lights in Campanile’s signature green.
Beneath another grouping of woven lights, a wood communal table near the bar area acts as a social hub for guests.
A salon toward the back of the space serves as a designated work zone with lounge-style seating. “The Campanile restaurant caters to a diverse group of guests, from business professionals to travelers and local residents,” Michell says. “Our design not only had to meet all of their needs, it also needed to reflect a consistent brand story and ambiance across all properties in Europe.”
