Gran Hotel Inglés
Hotel & Resort
Gran Hotel Inglés has been a landmark since it was officially opened in 1886.
The first hotel in Madrid to have a restaurant, and on the first street in the city to receive electric lights, it became a cultural icon as well. After years of neglect and disrepair, the hotel was renovated and redesigned for today’s sophisticated, modern traveler.
A Gathering Place
We celebrated the 20’ lobby ceiling with circular chandeliers. Inspired by a classic English manor, a central lobby bar is surrounded by a cocktail lounge with clusters of area rugs and a range of seating. It is meant to be a gathering spot for locals as much as it is for visitors.
In the white-painted guestrooms, we played with the classic geometry of the molding by deconstructing it and extending it across the ceiling.
