Majestic Hotel Spa Barcelona

藝術百年 本色不減

Century-old Art That Never Dims

瑪杰斯蒂Majestic 在西語和英語中都是雄偉的意思，巴塞羅那城市腹地格拉西亞大道上，就有一幢新古典主義建筑雄偉的身姿令人仰止，以城市象征自居當之無愧，這就是巴塞羅那瑪杰斯蒂大酒店（Majestic Hotel Spa Barcelona）。1918年，它敞開大門；2013年，收尾一項精細的翻新工程，從此便更加卓然不群，成為永恒優(yōu)雅的標桿，不枉最別具一格的國際酒店名號。

In the heart of Barcelona， on the Paseo de Gracia， stands a majestic neoclassical building that has become one of the emblems of the city： Majestic Hotel Spa Barcelona. Opened in 1918， it is a true symbol of Barcelona that， after an ambitious renovation project， completed in 2013， has become a benchmark of timeless elegance， typical of the most exclusive international hotels.

百年風骨 砥礪前行

Century-old Vigor

酒店身后，翻涌著一個世紀的歷史風云，百年時光漫漶，酒店見證許多重大政治、文化及歷史事件，歷史不可逆，不可違，唯有銘記并尊重。這棟出眾的建筑拳拳呵護每處細節(jié)，毫不怠慢，如酒店界一位高風亮節(jié)的雅士，將奢華、舒適的要義詮釋到極致?，斀芩沟俑粋髌嫔实拇椭溃艽蟪潭壬蠚w因于酒店訓練有素、高效而專業(yè)的員工團隊，是他們，使得在瑪杰斯蒂的居停無畏時間的過濾，雋永下去。

With nearly a century of history behind it， the Majestic， owned by the Soldevila-Casals， family has witnessed many important political， cultural and historical events. This unique establishment is rich in character， conveying the essence of luxury and comfort to perfection through meticulous attention to detail. The legendary hospitality of the Majestic is due in large part to the discreet， efficient， professional staff， making a stay at the Majestic a unique experience that guests will never forget.

文化和藝術的伊甸園

The Garden of Eden for Culture and Art

酒店所在建筑歸屬于馬丁·卡索斯，即現(xiàn)任業(yè)主的曾祖父。他獨具慧眼，看到了這塊地皮未來不可估量的價值。它一直是巴塞羅那文化和藝術舞臺中央的亮角兒，門庭若市，影星、藝術家、政治家、體育明星和商界名人都慕名而至，貴族和資產(chǎn)階級也都青睞此處，只為享受世界一流的設施和服務。時光長廊中閃過的倨傲身影，每一個都曾是時代的寵兒：瑪利亞·克里斯蒂娜女王、詩人安東尼奧·馬查多、畫家畢加索、歌手查爾斯·德內(nèi)和約瑟芬·貝克、女高音歌唱家雷納塔·泰巴爾迪、作家海明威……瑪杰斯蒂水療酒店因此名聲大噪，也因此奠定了它傳奇的身份地位。

The building belonged to Martín Casals， founder and great grandfather of the current owners， who saw the future possibilities of this location， to which the aristocracy and bourgeoisie looked. The Majestic has always been at the heart of Barcelona's cultural and artistic scene， welcoming film stars， artists， politicians， professional athletes and prestigious business figures； all have enjoyed the world-class facilities and professional， discreet， efficient service. Personages such as Queen María Cristina， poet Antonio Machado， painters Pablo Ruíz Picasso， singers Charles Trenet and Josephine Baker， soprano Renata Tebaldi， and writer Ernest Hemingway， have helped to establish the hotel's excellent reputation and legendary stature.

蛻變

Transformation

1918年4月，瑪杰斯蒂面世，時名為Majestic Hotel Inglaterra（西班牙語意為：英格蘭雄偉大酒店），這個讀來鏗鏘的名字顯露出酒店面向國際化市場的用意。酒店開業(yè)不久，便憑借寸土寸金的優(yōu)越位置紅透巴塞羅那半邊天，一場場社會活動和慶典都將它作為首選之地，觀者如潮，人聲歡騰。但那時候的酒店規(guī)模較小，只有100間自帶浴室的客房。當時，電話號碼只有三位數(shù)字，夜間電話費用不過才十幾美分。

一切波瀾不驚，直到西班牙內(nèi)戰(zhàn)全線爆發(fā)。戰(zhàn)時，酒店易名為瑪杰斯蒂，并繼續(xù)發(fā)展，20世紀70年代，酒店搬遷到與之毗鄰的Valencia街道上一棟新建筑里，客房數(shù)擴增到340間。

1963年，老馬丁·卡索斯去世，瑪杰斯蒂所有權傳給家族后代接管，Soldevila Casals成為新的掌門人。俗說新官上任三把火。新任管理層對酒店進行大規(guī)模結構調(diào)整，堅定不移地將經(jīng)營重心向烹飪和藝術靠攏。春種一粒粟，秋收萬顆子?，斀芩沟僖慌e成為首都卡塔蘭首家榮膺米其林星級的酒店，皆因它的Drolma餐廳叫好賣座、口碑載道。并且，1000多幅懸掛墻上的藝術品，也使它躊躇滿志地站到了本市擁有最多數(shù)量藝術品酒店的隊列。

1992年，一場舉世矚目的奧運會將巴塞羅那展示在世界的聚光燈下。Soldevila Casals家族抓住時機，將酒店里外大動干戈重修一番。直到2013年，酒店業(yè)主第三代傳人甫完成最新且最為雄心勃勃的修葺，他們懷揣敬畏歷史的情懷去展望未來，歷史的深淺車轍，亦可以是前行途中最為明晰可見的路標。此次翻新的建筑設計由墨西哥著名的建筑所迪納瑞·迪斯諾（Denario Dise?o y Arquitectura）出馬，整個工程耗資高達3千多萬歐元。

The Majestic opened its doors in April 1918 as the Majestic Hotel Inglaterra， a name that even back then reflected its cosmopolitan outlook， and soon became the premier location for social events and celebrations in Barcelona. The hotel， which was smaller in those days， opened with 100 rooms， each with a private bath， at a time when phone numbers had only three digits and the nightly phone rate was just over ten cents.

After a hiatus， due to the Spanish Civil War， the name was changed to Hotel Majestic and the growth process continued， leading to the hotel opening its doors in the 1970s at the newly constructed building next door， on Valencia Street， expanding the number of hotel rooms to a total of 340.

After the death of Martín Casals Galcerán， in 1963， ownership of the Majestic passed to the Soldevila Casals of the family. The new management introduced significant structural changes and made a decided commitment to cuisine and art. Thus， the hotel became the first establishment in the Catalan capital to receive a Michelin Star， for the renowned former Drolma Restaurant， and one of the hotels in the city with the largest number of works of art on its walls， more than 1，000.

Concurrent with the Olympic Games in 1992， the Soldevila Casals family carried out an ambitious renovation of the hotel. Recently， the third generation of the owner family has completed the latest and most ambitious renovation， respecting the Majestic's history， while at the same time looking ahead toward the future. The latest and most ambitious comprehensive renovation， completed in 2013， costing more than 30 million euros， was carried out by Denario Dise?o y Arquitectura.

折中主義的設計筆觸

Eclectic Design

著名的室內(nèi)設計師安東尼奧·歐布拉多再一次向世人亮出他仿佛天資稟賦般的設計頭腦。他5年前為瑪杰斯蒂做的設計儼然一門多學科工程，建筑、室內(nèi)設計、裝修工藝甚至景觀設計都有觸及，若非學富五車胸有丘壑，誰人敢如此布陣。

縱使歐布拉多心高氣盛，卻并沒有數(shù)典忘祖，依舊將建筑所承載的古典筆觸奉為制勝經(jīng)典，把傳統(tǒng)精神和當代元素并舉，實現(xiàn)了折中主義的效果?，斀芩沟僦陨篮?，即在于它守望著歷史的家園，同時接納現(xiàn)代化的風潮。舒適、色彩、照明和材料，每個細節(jié)都繼往開來，概莫能外。安東尼奧·歐布拉多在西班牙還完成了其它八個酒店設計項目。

酒店將客房數(shù)從303間精簡到271間，舒適度與質量卻更上層樓。所有客房一經(jīng)擴容，明亮得如同曝露在晴空下，自然光隨性地游弋。精雕細鏤的當代家俬，如同為空間補上一層精美妝容，它本就不俗的眉眼愈發(fā)婉轉起來。上乘的優(yōu)質面料，親和不拒，熨帖得迎客空間宛如流轉著盈盈笑意。裝飾在各處的花卉吐著令人微醺的芳香，彩繪玻璃窗斑斕得像一幅幅天馬行空的涂鴉作品，鍛鐵打造的陽臺問候著門外的世界，還有諸多新哥特式風格，恍然覺得，酒店自身就是一件藝術品，珍罕，卻親和得讓人一見如故。

瑪杰斯蒂，我們還會再來。

Under the supervision of prestigious designer Antonio Obrador， a multidisciplinary project was carried out， incorporating architecture， interior design， decoration， design and even landscaping.

Respect for the building's classical architecture was the basis of Obrador's work， which is characterized by a mixture of former and more contemporary elements. He thus achieves an eclectic， timeless result that honors the past while at the same time modernizing the hotel， in terms of comfort， colors， lighting and materials.

The hotel has decreased the number of rooms from 303 to a total of 271， which has increased the level of comfort and quality. They have all been enlarged in order to make them more bright and comfortable， and the addition of contemporary furniture， combined with a careful selection of the finest quality fabrics， has transformed them into fresh， functional and welcoming spaces. Majestic Hotel Spa Barcelona with its floral decorations， stained glass windows， wrought iron balconies and other Neo-Gothic features， is a work of art in its own right.

Majestic， we will be back again.
