巴塞羅那塞洛斯酒店

The Serras Luxury Boutique Hotel Barcelona

來到巴塞羅那，便來到了最令人癡迷的藝術(shù)夢想之地，走在街上仿佛隨時可能與高迪和畢加索擦肩而過，眼前的一切都在大師的視角里變幻著模樣。直到走進(jìn)塞洛斯酒店，那些抽象而迷醉的幻想才開始以清晰的線條與明快的色彩變得真實起來......

在巴塞羅那舊城最富盛名的哥特區(qū)，哥倫布大道上的The Serras塞洛斯酒店直面著地中海的海港。這個只有28間客房的酒店雖然于2015年才誕生，卻是巴塞羅那海邊區(qū)域的第一家五星級酒店，它時髦干凈又極具品味的設(shè)計風(fēng)格給巴塞羅那酒店業(yè)帶來了新氣象。

When you come to Barcelona， you have come to the most obsessed artistic dreams. Walking down the street is as if you could pass by Gaudí and Picasso any time， everything changes in the Master's perspective. It is until you have walked into The Serras， that those abstract and fascinating fantasy begin to concretise and become real

The Serras， on Passeig Colom， faces the Mediterranean harbor in one of Barcelona's most prestigious Old Town Gothic Quarter. Although this 28-room hotel was only born in 2015， it is the first five-star hotel in Barcelona's seaside area. Its trendy， clean and tasteful design brings a new dimension to the Barcelona hotels.

城市起點的歷史見證

First Witness of the City’s History

店創(chuàng)始人Jodi Serra曾是一名成功的商人，喜歡四處旅行，在酒店度過愉快的周末。而在退休后，這位生性快樂的企業(yè)家并沒有選擇安度晚年，轉(zhuǎn)身決定用他所享受的工作來為更多人創(chuàng)造快樂——開一家獨一無二的奢華酒店。當(dāng)他的兒子在海邊發(fā)現(xiàn)這棟19世紀(jì)的哥特式建筑時，Serra先生當(dāng)即買了下來。

哥特區(qū)以古老的哥特式建筑聞名世界，而塞洛斯酒店所在的建筑，則是1846年由西班牙著名建筑師Francesc Daniel Molina設(shè)計，他親手打造的巴塞羅那皇家廣場，如今已是聞名世界的旅行勝地。在修建酒店時，建筑的外立面被完好保留了下來，以此表達(dá)對大師的敬意。不止如此，在建筑翻修過程中，建筑師們挖出了能追溯至公元一世紀(jì)到五世紀(jì)的碼頭古跡，這是歷史上第一項能夠證明巴塞羅那城市起始點的證據(jù)，酒店的建設(shè)無意中讓困擾史學(xué)家?guī)资兰o(jì)的謎團(tuán)得以揭曉。

Jodi Serra， founder of the hotel， was once a successful businessman and enjoys traveling around for a pleasant weekend. After retirement， this happy entrepreneur did not choose to settle down， but decided to use his work to create happiness for more people - to open a unique luxury hotel. When his son discovered the 19th-century Gothic building by the sea， Mr. Serra bought it immediately.

The Gothic Quarter is famous for its ancient Gothic architecture， and the building where The Serras is housed was designed by the famous Spanish architect Francesc Daniel Molina in 1846. His Barcelona Royal Plaza is now the world-famous travel destination. When building the hotel， the fa?ade of the building was well preserved， so as to respect the master. More than that， during the renovation of the building， architects dug up an ancient dock site dating back to the first to fifth centuries AD， the first evidence in history to prove the starting point of the city of Barcelona. The construction of the hotel has unintentionally solved the mystery that puzzled historians for centuries.

畫家與設(shè)計師的靈感碰撞

The Collisions of the Painter and Designer's Inspirations

陽光穿過玻璃門廳進(jìn)入大堂，鵝黃與墨綠的絲絨沙發(fā)優(yōu)雅而沉靜，黑色與金色的金屬線條讓空間充滿幾何的層次感，大株的粉色繡球花束又增添了一絲柔軟。只是大堂就已經(jīng)道出設(shè)計師的許多心思，飽滿又不失秩序的配色，除了與地中海的海港風(fēng)情相承，更是對天才畫家畢加索的致敬。

塞洛斯酒店的前身，正是畢加索少年時期的第一個畫室。

1896年，只有15歲的畢加索在這棟建筑頂部的閣樓開始了他的繪畫生涯，處于他創(chuàng)作的“藍(lán)色時期”，在這里，畢加索完成了著名的“科學(xué)與慈善”和其它幾幅重要畫作，如今，它們正懸掛于酒店不遠(yuǎn)處的畢加索博物館中。

經(jīng)過多次挑選，酒店創(chuàng)始人最終邀請Eva Martinez來為他的酒店做室內(nèi)設(shè)計。Eva 是西班牙當(dāng)下最火熱的室內(nèi)設(shè)計師之一，她的設(shè)計尊崇折中與平衡，擅長糅合完全不同的元素來打造舒適而溫暖的空間。而面對“將畢加索畫室設(shè)計為精品酒店”這一挑戰(zhàn)，她的呈現(xiàn)可謂理性又不失精彩。

不同于巴塞羅那大部分豪華酒店夸張浮華的設(shè)計，Eva用低調(diào)的配色和利落的材料來定義塞洛斯的“奢華”。她用大面積窗戶、自然光和通透的外觀來打造愉悅而舒適的氣氛，既呈現(xiàn)當(dāng)代紐約風(fēng)又回歸加泰羅尼亞的浪漫經(jīng)典?？头恳院诎诪橹魃?，優(yōu)雅而清爽，巨大的床頭板使地中海氣息撲面而來，而上面的印花則是當(dāng)?shù)亟ㄖ么u的抽象體現(xiàn)，象征巴塞羅那的“現(xiàn)代主義”時期，房間內(nèi)飾中大量金屬和木材的使用則是對當(dāng)?shù)毓I(yè)歷史的回望。

即使以黑白和金屬為主要元素設(shè)計，身處房間絲毫不會感覺冷硬。雙層的大片落地窗既隔絕噪音又保證光源，不大的面積卻感覺寬敞而私密。柔軟適中的亞麻織物和芥末黃座椅恰到好處增添了暖意，所用床墊更是伊麗莎白女王二世的指定品牌，“深陷其中而無法自拔”可以貼切的表達(dá)使用感受。床尾不遠(yuǎn)處的獨立船型浴缸是設(shè)計的靈魂所在，它直面Port Vell 的碼頭風(fēng)光，泡在里面猶如駛著一艘小船，直向碧藍(lán)的地中海飄去......

設(shè)計師并沒有用畢加索畫作的元素來設(shè)計酒店，而是以更宜居住和思考的風(fēng)格，讓賓客能夠擁有自己獨一無二的感受，這番沉靜的設(shè)計，反而把最為真實原始的畢加索痕跡突顯了出來，那就是畢加索的視角下，同樣的窗外風(fēng)景。

Sunshine radiating through the glass hall into the lobby， in it sits the dark yellow and green velvet sofa， both elegant and quiet. The black and gold metal lines give space a sense of geometric hierarchy， and the large strains of pink hydrangea bouquet adds a touch of softness. Just the lobby has given out many of the designer's thoughts with full and orderly color， in addition to the Mediterranean harbor style， such is the tribute to the genius painter Picasso.

The predecessor of The Serras， is Picasso's first studio as a teenager.

In 1896， 15-year-old Picasso began his painting career in the loft on the top of the building， and he was at his so-called \"Blue Age\". Here Picasso completed the famous \"Science and Charity\" and several other important paintings， which are now hanging in the Picasso Museum not far from the hotel.

After some scrutiny， the hotel founder eventually invited Eva Martinez to do interiors design for his hotel. One of the hottest interior designers in Spain today， Eva embraces eclectic and balanced designs that combine different elements to create a cozy， warm space. In the face of the challenge of \"designing Picasso's studio as a boutique hotel，\" her presentation is both rational and splendid.

Unlike most luxury hotels in Barcelona with exaggerated flashy design， Eva uses a low-key color tone and slick materials to define the \"luxury\" of The Serras. She uses a large area of windows， natural light and transparent fa?ade to create a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere， both contemporary New York style and a return to the Catalonia romantic classics. The rooms are black and white in color， elegant and refreshing， with a huge headboard sending in the Mediterranean atmosphere， while the print above is an abstraction of the local architectural bricks， symbolizing Barcelona's \"Modernism\" period. In the interiors of the rooms， the use of large quantities of metal and wood is a reminder of the local industrial history.

Even with black and white and metal as the main elements of design， it doesn’t feel chilled in the room. Double large floor to ceiling windows block both noise and light， the area is not so large but feels spacious and private. Soft linen and mustard yellow seat add more warmth， and the mattress used is Queen Elizabeth II's designated brand， \"can not help oneself but to sink deep in it\" can be the appropriate expression. Not far from the end of the bed is an independent boat-like bathtub， also the soul of the design. The bathtub faces the dock scenery of Port Vell， and soaking inside is like lying in a boat driving straight to the blue ocean......

Instead of designing the hotel with elements of Picasso's paintings， she uses a more livable and thought-provoking style， so that the guests can have their own unique feeling. This subtle design has presented the most authentic and original Picasso traces， that is Picasso's perspective， the same scenery by the window.

用真實定義奢侈

Luxury Defined by Reality

酒店的餐廳Informal 由米其林廚師Marc Gascons主理，提供地道的加泰羅尼亞風(fēng)味美食。就如餐廳名字“informal”（日常的，隨意的），這里的食物也更為年輕和隨性，只用當(dāng)?shù)匦迈r食材來制作可以一起分享的美味。餐廳設(shè)計簡約而質(zhì)樸，適合與朋友一起來享用日常而精致的晚餐。

畢加索創(chuàng)作的閣樓，被改造為酒店的社交天臺，擁有無邊泳池和tapas酒吧。Serra先生說：“我希望把那些我所真正享受的酒店體驗帶到這里，同時我也希望創(chuàng)造一些我沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)的。我喜歡南部的陽光，所以我喜歡能夠沐浴陽光的屋頂，有泳池有酒有美好的食物，這才是我所認(rèn)為的真正的奢侈。”

這也正是塞洛斯酒店最為迷人的地方，住在里面很難忽略它精彩的歷史，卻又時時被新的創(chuàng)造感染，被貼切的服務(wù)打動，是真正難得的奢侈體驗。

The hotel's restaurant， Informal， is run by Michelin chef Marc Gascons and serves typical Catalan food. Like the restaurant's name \"informal\" （daily， casual）， the food here also feels younger and casual， using only locally sourced ingredients to make something delicious to share. The restaurant is simple and rustic in design， suitable for enjoying daily and exquisite dinners with friends.

Picasso's loft for painting was transformed into the hotel's social rooftop， with an infinity pool and tapas bar. Mr. Serra said： \"I want to bring in the hotel experience I really enjoy here， and I also hope to create something I did not find.I like the southern sunshine， so I like a roof that can be bathed in the sunshine. With swimming pool， wine and good food， this is what I think is the real luxury. \"

It is also the most fascinating quality of The Serras. Living in it is hard to ignore its wonderful history， but one is also always impressed by the new creation of the hotel and impressed by its warm service. It is a truly luxury experience.

抓人眼球，深入人心

Eye-catching and Mind-blowing

巴塞羅那文華東方酒店

Mandarin Oriental Barcelona

高高低低的哥特式房頂連成了巴塞羅那獨一無二的天際線，也為聞名世界的建筑師們?nèi)Τ隽艘黄嫠济钕氲念I(lǐng)地。即使早已過去一個世紀(jì)，高迪對建筑設(shè)計的瘋狂和癡迷，依然在這片土地以持續(xù)增長的啟發(fā)力引領(lǐng)著后人。由著名女設(shè)計師Patricia Urquiola擔(dān)綱設(shè)計的巴塞羅那文華東方酒店，則又將巴塞羅那在世界建筑設(shè)計的影響力提升了一步。

格拉西亞大道上坐落著兩棟列入世界遺產(chǎn)的高迪之作——米拉之家和巴特略之家，世界頂級的零售品牌與米其林餐廳也散布其中，這里是巴塞羅那的中心，是傳奇和光芒的聚焦點。巴塞羅那文華東方酒店就坐落在其中一棟20世紀(jì)中期建筑里。

The high and low-rise Gothic roofs make up the unique skyline of Barcelona and create a wonderland for world-renowned architects. Even though a century has past， Gaudí's crazy obsession with architectural design is still bestowing this land with a steadily increasing inspiration. Designed by renowned female designer Patricia Urquiola， The Mandarin Oriental Barcelona continues to take the influence of Barcelona one step further in the world of architectural design.

On the Passeig de Gracia， are two World Heritage buildings by Gaudi - La Pedrera and Casa Batlló. This area is also home to some of the world's top retail brands and Michelin restaurants， and is the center of Barcelona， the focus of the all legends and limelight. The Mandarin Oriental， Barcelona is set in one of these mid 20th-century buildings.

“混搭女王”的設(shè)計語言

The Design Language of the \"Mix and Match Queen\"

一條斜坡從恢弘的石雕大門通往酒店大堂，將客人從繁華的格拉西亞大道引入到一處不可思議的現(xiàn)代空間。三面全白的墻面圍成入口與斜坡連接，鏤空的大小方形與內(nèi)部空間貫通，十分立體。建筑前身是一家銀行的總部，經(jīng)過Patricia Urquiola的設(shè)計后，延續(xù)了文華東方現(xiàn)代主義設(shè)計與東方氣韻融合的風(fēng)格，更多了一些西班牙本土的色彩和設(shè)計師個人理念的演繹。

與許多其他行業(yè)相似，建筑設(shè)計領(lǐng)域長時間以來都由男性獨當(dāng)一面，而 Patricia Urquiola的事業(yè)崛起，則為眾多在建筑行業(yè)奮斗的女設(shè)計師做出了表率。出生于西班牙奧維耶多，Patricia自幼對建筑充滿興趣，先后在馬德里和意大利學(xué)習(xí)建筑設(shè)計，師從泰斗級設(shè)計大師Achille Castiglioni，Patricia在2001年于米蘭建立自己的工作室。她的設(shè)計從不拘泥于某一種特定風(fēng)格，涉獵家具、燈光、建筑、室內(nèi)等不同媒介和不同材質(zhì)，擅長將手工制作與工業(yè)設(shè)計結(jié)合，設(shè)計出具有功能性和實用性，同時又富有美感和詩意的作品。

Patricia是設(shè)計界的“混搭女王”，一方面受意大利嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)創(chuàng)新的學(xué)術(shù)影響，一方面又根植于西班牙熱情敏感的血統(tǒng)，她的設(shè)計總是同時在兩個國度交織并行，一絲不茍卻又充滿浪漫與色彩。巴塞羅那文華東方酒店可以說是她最具代表性的設(shè)計表達(dá)。

走過鋪滿花朵圖案的黑色無邊坡道，來到起居室風(fēng)格的大堂。寬大的灰白色沙發(fā)，暖黃的燈光，鏤空設(shè)計的屏風(fēng)，東方元素的掛畫和裝飾，隨性而優(yōu)雅的氣氛輕松歡迎著賓客。酒店內(nèi)部細(xì)節(jié)逐漸在眼前鋪開，Patricia Urquiola的設(shè)計語言也一點點印入腦中。

酒店內(nèi)每一件家具與藝術(shù)品都由Patricia親自設(shè)計，并與知名設(shè)計公司如 BB Italia， DePadova， Flos 和 Moroso等聯(lián)合制作。從Moments餐廳的扶手椅到大堂的切斯菲爾德沙發(fā)，從Banker酒吧里追憶舊時紳士風(fēng)光的手工蘇格蘭花呢地毯到Blanc餐廳中央的20世紀(jì)經(jīng)典法式木桌，每一件物品都由設(shè)計師親自挑選從而使每一處空間呈現(xiàn)出自己的個性。

A ramp extending from the magnificent stonework gate leads to the hotel lobby， bringing guests from the bustling Passeig de Gracia to an incredible modern space. Three white walls surrounding the ramp connection enveloped and formed the entrance， its hollowed out cube space connecting the internal space， signifying a three-dimensional vibe. The predecessor of a building is the headquarters of a bank. After the design of Patricia Urquiola， the building inherits the fusion of Mandarin Oriental modernism and the orient aesthetics， added with native Spanish colors and the designer's personal philosophy.

Like many other industries， the field of architectural design has long been dominated by men， and Patricia Urquiola's rise has given recognition to a wide range of women designers working in the construction industry. Born in Oviedo， Spain， Patricia is interested in architecture since childhood. She studied architectural design in Madrid and Italy， and studied under master designer， Achille Castiglioni. Patricia founded his own studio in Milan in 2001. Her design never rigidly adheres to a particular style， but utilizes different media and different materials in all fields such as furniture， lighting， architecture， interior， etc. She is good at combining hand-made craft and industrial design， to come up with works with functionality and practicality， but also full of beauty and poetics.

Patricia， the \"mashup queen\" in the design world， receives Italy's rigorous and innovative academic influence on the one hand， and is also rooted in Spain's passionate and sensitive descent on the other hand. Her designs are always intertwined in two countries at the same time， meticulous yet romantic. Mandarin Oriental Barcelona can be said to be her most representative design model.

Walking through the edgeless black ramp with floral patterns to the living-room lobby， an elegant and relaxed atmosphere welcomes the guests： large grayish white sofa under warm yellow light， hollow design screen， the paintings and decorations of the oriental elements. As the details of the interior gradually unfold， Patricia Urquiola's design language has also been fondly remembered.

Every piece of furniture and artwork in the hotel has been personally designed by Patricia and is co-produced with renowned design houses such as BB Italia， DePadova， Flos and Moroso. From the armchairs at the Moments restaurant to the Chesfield sofas in the lobby， from the handcrafted Scottish tweed rugs from the Banker bar to the classic 20th-century French wood table in the center of Blanc， everything is selected by the designer so that each space can best present its own personality.

地中海風(fēng)情遇上東方韻味

The Mediterranean Style Meets The Orient Charm

巴塞羅那文華東方酒店是Patricia第一個如此復(fù)雜的室內(nèi)空間作品，其設(shè)計的完整性與流暢度使人驚嘆。120間客房與套房延續(xù)了酒店白色的基調(diào)，深灰色、綠色、原木色在墻壁和織物的應(yīng)用上使空間不僅優(yōu)雅而現(xiàn)代，同時帶來鮮活的氣息，寬敞的陽臺將整個房間沐浴在地中海的陽光中，淺灰色的蒲公英印花墻紙，以傳統(tǒng)中式斗柜為靈感設(shè)計的衣櫥以及將軍帽形的花瓶藝術(shù)品，神秘的東方元素則顯得別有光彩。擁有優(yōu)美流線的座椅和米色的地毯為空間增加了細(xì)膩和柔軟，與大面積的白色中和，整體設(shè)計現(xiàn)代自然，清晰而平衡。

位于大堂下方的Blanc餐廳，是酒店整體設(shè)計的精華所在。懸掛于上方的金屬網(wǎng)格結(jié)構(gòu)從視覺上將空間一分為二，陽光透過頂部的大片天窗穿過網(wǎng)格將圖案映射在墻上，拔高的綠色植物一直伸到上方，使得整個餐廳猶如垂直于一片空中花園之下。

而酒店也確確實實在其中打造了一片花園——Mimosa Garden，由Patricia和景觀設(shè)計師 Bet Figueras共同合作，將一片足有660平的花園空間完美嵌入酒店內(nèi)部。浪漫多姿的含羞草和豐富的室外植物種植其中，特別設(shè)計的編繩椅子充滿田園氣息，為住進(jìn)來的客人提供了一處私密的自然空間。

Blanc餐廳兩側(cè)分別為Banker's Bar 和 Moments餐廳，Patricia巧妙地把酒店的銀行背景運(yùn)用到設(shè)計當(dāng)中，將先前銀行廢棄的保險箱懸于酒店Banker's Bar的天花板和墻上，燈光映射在上面形成獨特又別具裝飾性的區(qū)域。Moments餐廳以金色和琥珀色為主色調(diào)，頂部三面小型穹頂與下方的地毯印有相同的圖案并平行重合，可見Patricia對設(shè)計細(xì)節(jié)的巧思與玩味。

The Mandarin Oriental， Barcelona is Patricia's first interior space with such intricacies， completed with stunning design integrity and fluidity. The 120 guest rooms and suites continue the white tone of the hotel. The use of dark gray， green fabrics and log walls not only make the space elegant and modern， but also provide a lively atmosphere. The spacious balcony bathes the entire room in the Mediterranean Sunshine. Light gray dandelion printed wallpaper， traditional Chinese drawers inspired wardrobe and military hat-shaped vase， the mysterious Oriental element is truly shining here. Beautifully sleek seats and beige carpets add sophistication to the space， and are neutralized with large areas of white， the overall design is modern and natural， clear and balanced.

Blanc， located below the lobby， is the essence of the overall design of the hotel. The metal grid structure suspended above visually divides the space into two. The sun shines through the grid through the large skylights at the top of the grid and maps the pattern onto the wall. The tall green plants extend to the top， as if the entire restaurant sits underneath a vertical sky garden.

And the hotel indeed built a garden called- Mimosa Garden， co-created by Patricia and her landscape architect Bet Figueras. They work together to fit a perfect 660-foot garden into the hotel space. Romantic mimosa and rich outdoor plants are richly planted， specially designed rope chair is full of pastoral atmosphere， providing a secret natural space for the staying guests.

On both sides of Blanc are Banker's Bar and Moments restaurants， and Patricia cleverly applied the hotel's banking background to the design， by hanging the previously abandoned safe on the ceiling and walls of the hotel's Banker's Bar， which formed a unique decorative area with the lighting on it. Moments restaurant is decorated with gold and amber-based colors， the top three small dome and the bottom of the carpet are printed with the same paralleled pattern， showing the ingenuity of the design.

《酒店精品》：您的設(shè)計中常?？吹礁鞣N元素的混搭，在混搭的過程中有何準(zhǔn)則嗎？

Patricia Urquiola：我喜歡為每一件物品尋找最適合它的材料，比如將手工技巧用在高科技材料上，或者把工業(yè)設(shè)計流程用在舊的材料中。

《酒店精品》：在您的設(shè)計生涯中，有什么人或事物在持續(xù)為您提供著靈感嗎？

Patricia Urquiola：Achille Castiglioni 對我有著深遠(yuǎn)的影響，在我堅信建筑是一門至高無上的藝術(shù)時他教會了我設(shè)計的價值，以及展望一件物品的樂趣，他告訴我不要把自己太當(dāng)回事兒，即使認(rèn)為自己做的事情很重要。

《酒店精品》：作為一名繁忙的女設(shè)計師，您是如何處理工作與家庭關(guān)系的呢？

Patricia Urquiola：我需要不斷地處理好工作和我的家庭以及私人生活之間的關(guān)系，我一直在試圖說服我的丈夫（兼合伙人）去找一個能夠使工作和生活合二為一的地方，我非常喜歡意大利傳統(tǒng)的“家和工作室”的概念，一樓是工作室，二樓是家，最好能再有個小院子，就太棒了。

《酒店精品》：一直堅持做設(shè)計的動力是什么？

Patricia Urquiola：去提高每一天的生活。不是從工程學(xué)，從環(huán)境影響或其他實用主義的因素上提高，而主要是那些無形的價值，心靈的舒適和內(nèi)在的歡樂。

HOTEL ELITE： We can see a lot of use of MixMatch in your design， do you have any specific rules？

Patricia Urquiola： I like finding the most suitable material for each project. Working on technologically developed materials using craft techniques， or using an industrial process on a material from the past.”

HOTEL ELITE： Is there any person or thing that keep giving you inspiration during your whole career？

Patricia Urquiola： I like finding the most suitable material for each project. Working on technologically developed materials using craft techniques， or using an industrial process on a material from the past.”

HOTEL ELITE： As a busy woman designer， how do you handle the relationship between work and family？

Patricia Urquiola： I’ve been trying to break the connection between my work，my family，my private life. I always try to discuss with my husband to find a place where we can live and work together， like the Italian idea of “casa e bottega”， to have a studio downstairs and a house upstairs， if possible， a garden will be great.

HOTEL ELITE： What’s your motivation to keep designing？

Patricia Urquiola： To improve our everyday lives； not only in terms of ergonomics， environmental impact and other practical elements， but mostly on the intangible - virtual values perceptions， mental comfort and inner pleasure.
