Nestled in the wooded hills overlooking Tomales Bay north of San Francisco, the Lodge at Marconi is a new retreat housed in former state park buildings. The hotel’s interior design was entrusted to New York architecture firm Home Studios, who revisited the 1970s Summer Camp style in a modern, upscale version. The Lodge at Marconi is a deco haven immersed in nature, dedicated to decompression and reconnection.
Housed in a former retreat an hour outside of San Francisco, the Lodge at Marconi was completely redesigned by New York architecture firm Home Studios. The resort features 45 guest rooms and suites, a banquet hall, a restaurant, and gardens designed by local landscape architecture firm Dune Hai. The Lodge at Marconi pays homage to the Third Bay style, a modernist architectural style dating from the 1945-1980 period that has its roots in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The 25 hectares surrounding the Lodge and the atmosphere of the Summer Camps of the 70s have defined the decorative style of the hotel. The result is a palette of natural colors that are printed in sienna, ochre, mahogany or deep olive green. Throughout, oak and cedar wood have been favored to reinforce the desired natural and warm side; the benches, headboards or door frames are custom-made by local artisans, some lighting and accessories are also dressed in wood. As part of Home Studios' desire to honor and preserve the character and heritage of the site, three bathrooms have kept their original ceramics. Elsewhere, local manufacturer Heath Ceramics provided the vintage-inspired tiles.
The Lodge at Marconi team is also committed to sustainability and land preservation. Emphasis has been placed on low water consumption or the use of local oyster shells as soil to reduce the carbon footprint. Also, the site’s grounds have approximately five kilometers of hiking trails, offering guests the opportunity to walk without having to leave the grounds and use their cars.
