GMA contracted the interior design studio Patricia Galdón for this project, with extensive experience in benchmark renovations such as the Hotel Fergus Club Europa (Mallorca) or the Hotel Antemare (Sitges), both also owned by ATOM. From Patricia Galdón Estudio, for this Project, the guiding idea has been to look for “Sensory interior design through the five senses: taste, smell, touch, hearing and sight”.
“We seek to connect through interior design with the client’s emotions, beyond the aesthetically beautiful. In order to undertake a quality hotel project, you must know the needs of the guests and use empathy. We want to awaken the five senses and sharpen their sensitivity so that our client escapes from his reality, from his routine in the city and achieves his vacation objectives, to experience a small Eden during the stay “
Patricia Galdón uses as the basic concept of her project the integration of nature in architecture, both in the interior spaces and in the gardens, including in the project earth colors with touches of blue and green, tuning the mind to sea and nature.
“We interior designers create spaces, decorators select”
