Owned by the Schroders Real Estate Hotels group since 2019, GMH is linked to the atmosphere of a major Parisian theme park. Immediately after the acquisition, new perspectives for the hotel were created and work were planned within the GMH.
Tétris France's Hotels & Hospitality department quickly established its position, having already completed 50 sample rooms in the GMH for Vienna House in 2018.
Based on excellent relationship with the hotel management team, Schroders appointed Tétris to carry out the refurbishment of the 350 remaining rooms and then the whole reception area. The objective was simple: to preserve the magic of the hotel, to provide a real scenography for the occasion and to carry out the works in an open hotel. All of this within a rather tight schedule.
Tétris is not the only company involved in this masterpiece project: Moment Factory, a Canadian company and world leader in scenography, was involved at a very early stage of the project. Most of the decoration is done through scenography, especially by LED screens and lightings. The aim is to recreate different atmospheres, in line with the seasons and major surrounding events. The hotel's entrance hall, with its six-meter high arches and LED screens, is the masterpiece of the project. This scenography is exceptional in Europe and is a real innovation in the hotel world. It is central to the project and is the guide to the design. Five different sceneries, for five distinct moods, are planned depending on the atmosphere, the seasons and the flow of visitors and simply rely on computer programming. The many visitors are struck by the success of the project.
The interior architect Oscar Ono, creator of Maison Numéro 20 and a rising star in the world of high decoration, was also involved in the project. He arrived later on the project and integrated his design into the constraints of the enchanted world of the leisure park, to avoid too great a discrepancy with the theme of an amusement park and children's world. He brings a nice complementary touch to Moment Factory, for an operation carried out by four hands.
We carried out all the demolition and reconstruction works : floors, walls, ceilings, lightings, milwork but mainly the structural parts (metal structure and integration of the audiovisual equipment for the scenography: screens, loudspeakers, cabling, etc.). By positioning itself as project manager between the service providers, the architect and the scenographer, Tétris demonstrated communication and flexibility.
Architects, engineers and scenographers worked together to give the GMH its fairy-tale look.
