Bar Charles at Detroit’s historic Colony Club carves an intimate corner into the building’s grand Louis XVI style interior. The space seamlessly blends formality and hospitality, exuding a sense of opulence while remaining warm and inviting.
Substantial walnut doors with amber stained glass insets welcome guests into the bar. A softly rounded walnut paneled bar spans the center of the space creating a stunning focal point and creating pleasant pockets of seating groups where guests can gather. A marble inlay mimics the curve of the bar and creates a dramatic contrast from the deep hardwood floors.
The deep blue of the coffered ceiling creates a dramatic backdrop for a series of antiqued brass chandeliers that softly illuminate the space while Tiffany lamps and a series of bar lamps create intimacy with their warm glow. A channel back banquette in a chestnut leather sits beneath silky upholstered wall panels and is nestled into a cozy corner niche while a series of bar height pub tables are sprinkled throughout the space, their tambour wrapped bases and marble inlaid tops creating a pleasing rhythm.
