The styling of the old-fashioned Old World hotels is not for hotel guests on Grant Avenue in San Francisco. In the rooms of "Triton" you can imagine yourself briefly familiar with the famous rock musician. But it is better to plunge into the sea of ​​fantasy If on the fabulous bottom of the sea you could have parties in luxurious apartments, then clearly not in the royal chambers of Neptune. Hotel "Triton", named after the mythological hero, the son of the terrible lord of the ocean, was built in 1991 in the center San Francisco. It is the best suited for those who prefer to spend time actively. An informal approach to the design of its premises allowed the best local Californian artists to create a special world that opens before the eyes of a visitor entering the lobby of the Triton Hotel. In the center of the hall, two wave-bending gilded pillars meet guests like two guards of this kingdom. The thickened base of these supports goes to the ceiling, and the capitals, on the contrary, “abut” on the floor - in fact everything in the water should be reflected upside down! The interior of the lobby with the “funny pillars”, as they are called here, is the embodiment of the creative fantasy of Arlen Elizabeth, designer from San Francisco. Wall paintings depicting unsteady marine paintings - the work of artist Will Barker. The bends of the backs of the chairs in the hall are like seahorses. All furniture is made specifically for hotel interiors. The deep blue color chosen as the color basis for the rooms is associated with the ocean floor. Californian designer Michael Moore was able to combine the solid, comfortable atmosphere of the rooms with the cheerful spirit of Triton. Special chic - "personal" hotel rooms. A whole flock of dolphins (sculpted, painted and printed) lives in the room of Wieland, a modern American marine painter who is decorated with his works, pieces of furniture from his gallery and a large aquarium with tropical fish and plants. Two more rooms are decorated with portraits and autographs of rock musicians who became famous in San Francisco: Jerry Garcia ("his" number opened in 1994, a year before the death of this singer of the Grateful Dead band), Carlos Santana. As a paraphrase of the classic composition of Santana Black Magic Woman, the apartments of his name are called Black Magic Bedroom. Of course, to appreciate this, you have to be a true fan of American music of the 70s, then the quotes enclosed in the names and even the ordinal numbers of the hotel’s apartments will sound. Ocean and music - two elements in which you can immerse yourself in the "Triton". The main thing is to get to the surface in time. Hotel TritonFlight: with transfer in America or Europe.
