New Work: Montpelier Plantation

Justus Oehler and his team in Berlin have designed the visual identity for Montpelier Plantation, a luxury hotel on the island of Nevis in the Caribbean. The small, family-run hotel is a meticulously restored 18th-century sugar plantation that has been converted into a Relais & Chateaux boutique hotel. The plantation is set in a sixty-acre estate 750 feet up in the hills of Nevis and features 19 rooms with sea views, a private beach and a restaurant in a 300-year-old converted sugar mill.

The logotype is simple and elegant, set in Garamond Italic with the letters t and p connected to create a ligature. For the colour we chose a warm brown which is reminiscent of the colour of brown sugar, combined with a bright green lavender.
