Hotel El Palace, Barcelona, Spain

Central to the hustle and bustle of downtown, El Palace Barcelona is a quiet haven just steps away from the exclusive Paseo de Gracia, the mythic Las Ramblas, and the historic Gothic District. Feel the pull of 1919 in your spacious neoclassical room with a marble bathroom and original fireplace, combined with state-of-the art facilities. Travel from rhythm and blues to Cuban notes on Fridays at the unique Bluesman Cocktail Bar, or watch the sun set over far-off cupolas at the 360-degree rooftop terrace. The enormous tasseled room keys are a delightful touch of nostalgia that will surely make you want to return soon.

El Palace Barcelona stands as one of the icons of the Mediterranean city. Luxury and elegance are the main hallmarks of the hotel and one of the main reasons why it remains in the memory of all its guests.

But El Palace Barcelona also looks into the future. Thus, the hotel has recently completed an ambitious full refurbishment that has included the thorough restoration of public areas, suites and rooms with the inclusion of handmade carpets, restored antiques and high end reproductions of objects such as lamps and curtains. One of the most outstanding works of this remodeling has been the creation of the Roof Top Garden on the seventh floor.

Designed by Antoni Falcón, it is a romantic space of 1500 m2 with more than fifty plant species, fountains, pergolas and swimming pool, inspired by the Barcelona of the twenties and its splendid gardens.

Located in the center of Barcelona, a few steps from the exclusive Paseo de Gracia, the historic Gothic Quarter and the emblematic Ramblas, El Palace Barcelona is surrounded by prestigious boutiques and trendy restaurants, as well as essential modernist buildings such as La Pedrera or the Casa Batlló, La Boquería or the Gran Teatro del Liceo.

The Hermitage Hotel Nashville, Tennessee

The Music City is a lot more harmonious thanks to The Hermitage Hotel. In its heyday, Nashville’s grande dame – set next to the state capitol – hosted everyone from Hank Williams to Patsy Cline in its banquet rooms; even the Country Music Association was formed here. Updated for the 21st century, the beaux arts-style hotel added a new stanza with 122 refreshingly refined accommodations, nearly doubling the space of the original rooms. The elegant Capitol Grille is the epitome of sustainable Southern cuisine, sourcing ingredients from an heirloom garden just miles away.

Known as Nashville’s original million-dollar property, The Hermitage Hotel is a timeless icon of best-in-class service, luxury and guest experience. The standard-bearer for luxury hospitality in Nashville since 1910, the hotel recently completed an extensive restoration and redesign of its 122 guest rooms and suites, its famous lobby, and historic ballroom. The multi-year project marks a new era for storied hotel, a National Historic Landmark, and underscores the independently owned and operated property’s identity as Nashville’s most authentic expression of gracious, modern-day Southern hospitality.
