Karl Lagerfeld's hotel mural sideline Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld's mural-style collaboration with Hotel Metropole, Monte-Carlo, is unveiled. If you have a penchant for Homeric poems, Chanel or swimming - or preferably all three, then book your summer break at Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo where the eclectic trio have pooled for a mural-style installation. Karl Lagerfeld, head designer and creative director for Chanel, was chosen by the hotel - which won "Best Hotel in the World 2010" - to create a unique poolside piece, named "Ulysses' Journey around the Mediterranean Sea," inspired by Homer's epics: the Iliad and the Odyssey . "Lagerfeld's work is always very elegant and his unique and timeless style was perfect to take the Hotel Métropole Monte-Carlo to a new level," said Jean-Claude Messant, the hotel's director. We were not only thinking about Odyssey as a place to swim and tan, but rather as a living space.

Lagerfeld's bespoke installation is made up of twenty panels, measuring 18x3 metres, in which photos of models in togas are superimposed onto black and white images of Greek coastlines from 1850-60. The scenes are backlit by LEDs which change according to the surrounding natural lighting which adds to the intimate atmosphere and ambience. Adjacent to the pool, the hotel is opening its third Joel Robunchon dual concept restaurant 'Odyssey' in June. 'Odyssey' will be a Michelin-starred eatery by day, and a destination bar with live music and DJs, and Robunchon canapés by night - where Lagerfeld's masterpiece can be admired by all.
