An immersive hotel experience where hospitality meets themed entertainment<\/h3>\r\n

Unveiled in September, 2022, The Grand Magic Hotel re-imagines what it means to \u201cbe transported.\u201d Developed over a two year period by multimedia studio Moment Factory and global investment manager Schroders, the property located in the Paris region immerses guests in imaginary worlds from the moment they enter. The innovative project fuses scenography, architecture, and multimedia to take guests on an unforgettable journey. Moment Factory was tasked with transforming the Hotel\u2019s Lobby and Grand Hall.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The hotel\u2019s multimedia-based transformation was inspired by Moment Factory\u2019s work in theme park attractions, and a goal of using themed entertainment to complement and enhance the hotel\u2019s practical functions.<\/p>\r\n

Merging hospitality and entertainment, the hotel offers a 360 multimedia experience positioned to engage new and returning guests throughout their stay.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

A glimpse into the Magic that awaits<\/h4>\r\n

Upon arrival, guests are greeted by Mr. Maurice, the fictional owner of The Grand Magic Hotel, who comes to life in a digital portrait that hangs prominently above the Reception Desk. As guests explore the Lobby, they encounter ever-changing graphics that provide visions of the journey to come.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The hotel\u2019s interior not only evolves throughout the day, but also over the course of the seasons, revealing wondrous surprises for guests to explore. These environments are brought to life through fantastical flourishes including architectural effects and trompe-l\u2019oeil illusions that blur the line between the real and the extraordinary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Come nightfall, the venue reaches the height of its metamorphic powers: the moment Mr. Maurice activates his enchanted elevator, guests are whisked away on a voyage into wondrous worlds.<\/p>\r\n

Content overtakes The Grand Hall\u2019s multimedia features to create an immersive experience. These illusory visuals are extended by the room\u2019s impactful media columns and are supported by an original soundscape.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The multisensory adventure introduces guests to four unique worlds: The French Garden, The Forest Pavilion, The Water Palace, and The Sky Gallery. Each world is an immersive multimedia show that unfolds over four acts, taking guests on a deliberately-paced journey that includes relaxing ambient sequences and entertaining show moments.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The French Garden<\/h4>\r\n

Golden light illuminates a living garden landscape inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds the hotel. The garden\u2019s gradual evolution complements guests\u2019 daily departures and returns. In the morning, the garden immerses guests in a vivid sunrise. In the afternoon, a sunset welcomes guests back, setting the scene for their forthcoming evening experience.<\/p>\r\n

The Water Palace\u00a0<\/h4>\r\n

A majestic underwater world swimming with sparkling sea creatures bathes The Grand Hall in aquatic beauty.<\/p>\r\n

The Forest Pavilion<\/h4>\r\n

A mysterious forest of towering trees, lush vegetation, and a swirl of dancing fireflies invites guests to discover the wonders of nature at night.<\/p>\r\n

The Sky Gallery<\/h4>\r\n

High above the clouds, an ethereal wonderland exists that is home to astral magic including an ever-glowing full moon, cosmic fireworks, and soaring paper airplanes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Re-imagining the hotel experience\u00a0<\/h4>\r\n

The Schroders team wanted to bring a whole new kind of visitor experience to the Grand Magic hotel through spectacular moments shaped by innovative technology. Moment Factory was able to fulfill this mandate, all while understanding Schroders' operational needs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Moment Factory\u2019s contributions to the hotel\u2019s transformation include the creation of an original story world filled with unique animated characters and environments. Fusing lighting, soundscapes, technology, and digital content, the studio developed an experience inspired by glamorous hotels and the majesty of French castles.<\/p>\r\n

A primary goal was to encourage families and friends to spend time in the Hotel\u2019s Grand Hall, where they can gather, enjoy themed drinks, and take in dynamic content. A seamless layer of multimedia and spatialized sound accommodates multiple viewpoints, ensures illusion from every angle, and fosters an emotional relationship between the guests and their surroundings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Collaborators<\/h4>\r\n

Under Moment Factory\u2019s creative direction, T\u00e9tris Design & Build were responsible for the production and installation of the Hotel\u2019s scenographic elements.<\/p>\r\n

The decor of these reinvented spaces was taken up by Maison Num\u00e9ro 20, who added vivid colour and additional elements designed to facilitate deep immersion. For its founder, Oscar Lucien Ono, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
