76 THE WORLD OF HOSPITALITY
THE ALEXANDRA BARCELONA HOTEL
The Alexandra Barcelona Hotel
Hotel
Alexandra Barcelona Hotel Curio Collection
by Hilton, with over 30 years of history, has
refurbished 23 rooms with a detailed interior
design, which combines a contemporary
design with modernist details. The new spaces
remember cosy spaces unique to modern homes,
always looking for an environment balance that
creates personality.
Borrell Jover Studio signs this refurbishment
project of the fifth floor of the Alexandra
Barcelona Hotel that includes 14 rooms in the
existing building and 9 in the adjacent building
of Rambla de Catalunya chamfer. It is a building
with a great richness of spaces and with finishes
characteristic to old-fashioned buildings from
the beginning of the century in Barcelona.
In the hotel enlargement we had always the
intention of preserving modernist elements
from the adjacent building and combining it
with contemporary design. The purpose was to
respect and preserve original mouldings from
ceilings or the existing hydraulic mosaic to bring
to the enlarged area the essence and tradition of
the city of Barcelona.
