When I am traveling often all I want is the experience of staying at a small intimate boutique hotel, but with the knowhow and and luxury offerings of a larger brand.  This is where the Hilton’s Curio Hotel brand comes in to play. Curio is a carefully curated portfolio of luxury independent hotels that have the benefit of retaining their independence whilst offering customers all the benefits of being part of the Hilton Group, which is a winning formula for me!
On our most recent trip to Barcelona we were kindly asked along to Hilton Curio?s latest hotel, The Hotel Alexandra. The hotel has been gracing Barcelona for 30 years, but has recently joined the Hilton Curio Collection, so read onto find out more about our stay at this beautiful luxury Barcelona hotel. Background and Concept
The hotel juxtaposition?s old and new flawlessly, which is thanks to Borrell Jover Arquitectura, who have been responsible for the properties renovation. A fresh Mediterranean feel flows through the hotel both in the rooms (many of which retain their original period features, like ornate corniced ceilings and those playful Catalan hydraulic floor tiles) and the hotel’s common areas. The outdoor terrace with pool and dining area, is alive with flowers, whilst the Scandinavian furniture, oak floors and walnut paneling add warmth to the contemporary design.
