The Ambassador Seoul A Pullman Hotel The Lounge & Bar / The Kings Signage

Two Experiences, One Refined Hospitality

The Ambassador Seoul A Pullman Hotel The Lounge & Bar / The Kings Signage

Ambassador Seoul – A Pullman Hotel, located in the heart of Seoul, is the first hotel managed by a private company in Korea. It is a luxury hotel that provides customers with the best lodging experience and elegant services based on the historical heritage that has been maintained since 1955. Ambassador Seoul – A Pullman Hotel underwent rebranding and interior and exterior renewals throughout the hotel based on its unique heritage to provide a more memorable experience to customers. YNL Design participated in developing the brand identity for the entire F&B area within the hotel. We assisted in developing the brand signage design for THE LOUNGE & BAR in the hotel’s lobby area that matches the F&B brand design and THE KINGS, a hotel’s buffet.

The two brands, 'The Lounge & Bar' and 'The Kings,' are located on the first floor of the Ambassador Seoul – A Pullman Hotel, adjacent to each other. It was difficult to recognize the space of each brand, and the arrangement and role of signages were critical. YNL design proposed a signage design, specification, and system suitable for the premium mood of the hotel while helping customers perceive the two brand experiences in their respective spaces.

For 'THE LOUNGE & BAR,' we used the characteristics of the bar to designate a bronze hairline hanging signage attached to the ceiling as the main signage. Then, we designed the sub-signage with a bronze hairline SCSI signage on the right wall to create the hotel's luxurious atmosphere. We determined sizes and layouts that customers would immediately recognize. We created an elegant atmosphere by applying the camel color that matches the luxurious mood of ‘THE LOUNGE & BAR’ to the menu board. ‘THE KINGS’ is a premium live buffet where tradition and sensibility coexist. We intensified its luxurious atmosphere by designing its signage with an elegant gold logotype with SCSI on top of the hairline bronze plate. We placed ‘THE KINGS’ signage far from the ‘The Lounge and Bar’ space so that customers could immediately distinguish the two brands.
