A unique setting for art and design |
|
Gran Hotel La Florida is a unique setting where you can contemplate true works of art including sculptures and suites designed by internationally recognized artists.
The award winning designer Dale Keller and his wife Patricia handled much of the interior design of the hotel with their usual flair. Keller is the mind behind many of the world’s greatest hotels including Aman Nusa and the Four Seasons Resort in Bali.
The old charm of the hotel and its fabulous history are brought to life through beautifully presented antique photographs of the hotel and its surroundings, dating back to the 1920s and 1930s. These photos and antique engravings adorn the guest rooms and corridors of the renovated areas of the Gran Hotel.
In juxtaposition, the new areas of the hotel boast contemporary art, bringing to life the Barcelona of the 21st century. Prints of paintings by Gabriele Fettolini adorn guest rooms, while artistic photographs of the Casa Mila rooftop by Manel Armengol face out onto the courtyard atrium.
In the swimming pool & jacuzzi area, a long wall of projected interactive visual effects was especially designed for the Gran Hotel La Florida. This intriguing piece of high-tech art offers a relaxing backdrop by day and a dramatic setting for late-night dancing.
Throughout the hotel we see the Catalan artist Isabel Cruellas’ signature flowers, commissioned for the grand inauguration. These stunning paintings bring to life the “modernism” ambience of the hotel’s great spaces. |
