Mandarin Oriental Barcelona, the Mandarin Oriental’s first luxury hotel in Southern Europe located in the chic and central boulevard of Passeig de Gràcia, conveniently close to many of Barcelona ‘s shopping and dining venues. I thought it would be only good to see some pictures of its beautiful interior. The 120 rooms and suites hotel offers a spa and five restaurants and bars.
The Mandarine Oriental Barcelona was named “Best City Hotel in 2011 by Tatler Travel Guide. This elegant building that previously used to house a bank comes alive with a full revival and beautiful interior design by Spanish designer, Patricia Urquiola. Urquiola is a Spanian designer who lives and works in Milan, Italy. She has been named “Designer of the decade for the German magazines “Home” and “Hauser”. See more of this beautiful hotel on their website. An exceptional hotel for the descriminating tourists.
Lazaro Rosa-Violan says “The interior designer is an actor, he must dress up and change roles, understand new identities and integrate them with his own” There is not much that can be said to match up that statement except to look at Rosa-violan exceptional work and delight on how spectacular Lazaro Rosa Violan reflects his clients lifestyle in a unique sense of style that is timeless and luxurious yet warm. I first came across Lazaro Rosa Violan‘s inspiring interiors work via Nevo Estilo and instantly loved the mixture of vintage furniture with modern art and touches of ethnic pieces. “Together, we aim to create rich and beautiful interiors that, although meticulously contrived, carry an air of ‘lived-in’ spontaneity” he says and I couldn’t agree more. His interiors combine glam and laid back atmosphere to perfection.
