Through the refurbishment of the existing building, the project seeks to create a renewed and contemporary image, a new modern architectural identity that preserves the iconic character of the original structure.
The volumetric intervention prioritizes the interpretation of the existing architecture, removing secondary elements and restoring purity to the original volumes.
The hotel’s main entrance is located on the southwest façade, maintaining the access point of the original building while removing architectural barriers throughout the property to improve accessibility across the entire complex.
To achieve a more coherent reading of the ensemble, the building’s horizontality has been emphasized through the incorporation of pergolas and the opening of large windows along the longitudinal façades.
A key intervention in the refurbishment has been the redistribution of the program, with the constant aim of enhancing the connection between indoors and outdoors. The common areas, now enriched with a solarium, terraces, and a seasonal swimming pool, are concentrated on the ground floor and open directly to the exterior through all façades.
The pursuit of natural light has also been a defining factor in the project, particularly in the guestrooms. Each features large windows that maximize daylight intake while offering spectacular panoramic views over the sea and the distinctive Aiguablava cove.
In the common areas, space is conceived as continuous and unbounded, not confined within four walls but extending seamlessly between inside and outside, embracing the Mediterranean landscape of this unique setting.
Inside, guests can discover more than 200 works of art by renowned artists such as Salvador Dalí, Rafael Durancamps, Antoni Clavé, Josep Maria Subirachs, Antoni Tàpies, and Joan Miró.
