Gallery Hoteles Group started 2018 with the complete refurbishment of its hotel in Malaga, the MOLINA LARIO, with a 3.5-million-euro investment. This renovation project has included 103 rooms and bathrooms, communal areas and patios. Also has launched a new brand of restaurant, MATIZ, in another demonstration of the company’s commitment to quality cuisine in its establishments. 

In May 2018 GALLERY HOTELES has opened its third hotel in Mallorca. The

new hotel has been christened HOTEL HONUCAI 4*S (from the Hawaiian word

HONU-KAI: sea turtle), which owes to the mix of Mediterranean and exotic styles

distilled in the hotel’s individual décor, as well as paying tribute to the protected

native species of sea turtle that inhabits the island. At the same time, the sound of “HONUCAI”

evokes the ethnic influences brought together in this renovation project, with which we have

sought to design unique spaces that have their own soul and character, using natural and sea

materials to create a vibrant and light-filled environment.

The new HOTEL HONUCAI is located in the south of the island, at the heart of the

seafront promenade in Colonia de Sant Jordi, the busiest part of this ancient fishing village,

and just metres from the spectacular Es Carbó and Es Trenc beaches.

With this new seasonal hotel, the group is moving into this accommodation type within

the holiday sector. Hotel Honucai maintains its own unique personality whilst also displaying

all the hallmarks of the Gallery Hoteles brand: 4* superior category, an unbeatable central

location, a “boutique hotel” concept (78 rooms), exceptional customer service and a clear commitment to its own quality cuisine.

The building suffered a complete makeover, including the renovation

of the façade, rooms and bathrooms, restaurant, patio, hall and reception, with the

total investment reaching 3 million euros. The hotel also have two meeting and events

rooms, spa and fitness equipment for guests and the area’s first brand new rooftop space,

“The TOP”, with panoramic views, pool, restaurant and cocktail bar. This new space builds on the patio concept created in Barcelona

four years ago with the now iconic “The TOP” at Gallery Hotel, demonstrating once again the

company’s commitment to becoming a point of reference in the places where it is established,

offering spaces for leisure and cuisine aimed at the local public as well as tourists by opening

its doors to customers beyond the hotel’s guests.

Gallery Hoteles Group is also started 2018 with the complete refurbishment of its hotel in

Malaga, the Molina Lario, with a 3.5-million-euro investment. This renovation project

included the 103 rooms and bathrooms, communal areas and patios, and launch of a new brand of restaurant, MATIZ that is another demonstration of the company’s commitment to quality cuisine in its establishments.

Marta Golobardes, General Director of Gallery Hoteles, states that “following the renovation of our flagship hotel, the Gallery Hotel in Barcelona, we are starting 2018 with a new challenge, in order to continue to grow in quality and service, positioning ourselves as specialists in the 4*

superior category. This is all possible through our strategy, based on two key pillars: expanding our range to include one of the most popular destinations on the European market with the new hotel in Mallorca, and complete renovation of the Malaga hotel’s facilities to maintain our position as a leader among the city’s tourism businesses. With these new milestones, we want to offer our guests a better range of tourist destinations with the mark of quality and distinctive personality that define the Gallery Hoteles service.”

In the «Triangle of Art» from Madrid

Rafaelhoteles Atocha is located a few meters from the AVE Madrid Puerta de Atocha train station and to the city’s cultural district, known as the ‘Triangle of Art’ which includes the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the Prado Museum, and the Thyssen Bornemisza Museum.

The hotel has 245 rooms (just renewed in summer 2017)  which have been specially designed and equipped with all the comforts for you to enjoy a relaxed stay in a pleasant and cozy environment.

The different events rooms at Rafaelhoteles Atocha can hold meetings of many different sizes. With a single 730 m2 room, dividable into 4 different sized rooms. Smaller events rooms of about 60 sq meters and a magnificent indoor garden, where you can hold any meeting you require.

This icon of contemporary luxury in the Basque capital has entered into a new phase, consolidating its position as a meeting point for the arts, culture and creativity in a constantly evolving cosmopolitan city.

The comprehensive refurbishment that took place earlier this year, led by Foraster Architects studio, has adapted this well-established hotel to suit modern times whilst maintaining the hallmark characteristics created during its construction 16 years ago by Javier Mariscal and Fernando Salas.

ART AND ARCHITECTURE

New momentum at the hotel loved by architects and artists

An example of modern architecture in the new Bilbao alongside the creations of geniuses such as Foster, Gehry or Moneo, Gran Hotel Domine enters a new stage of its life, opening its doors to the people of Bilbao and consolidating itself as the 5-star hotel par excellence in the city.

Located in the iconic Art District, surrounded by the Guggenheim and Bellas Artes museums, the Iberdrola Tower and the Euskalduna Palace, it is only a five-minute walk from the commercial area and just 15km from Bilbao airport (LOIU). All this makes it an excellent base from which to explore the capital of Biscay and its surroundings.

Only a few meters from the Guggenheim, today the hotel continues to strengthen its ties with contemporary art, expanding its collection of paintings and sculptures. Gran Hotel Domine has commissioned the renowned Swedish studio Humans Since 1982 to tailor its innovative “A Million Times 120” kinetic installation for the lobby. By bringing this artistic creation to the city, the hotel is sharing an astounding piece of moving art with all of its citizens; a project that plays with time through the synchronisation of 120 clocks and the magical choreography of their hands, which captures the viewer’s attention until it eventually comes to show the exact time.

The magnificent Fossil Cypress in the atrium has been given a grander setting with the installation of a pond that reflects its imposing silhouette. Created by Mariscal and composed of more than 80 thousand stones from the river, this is an imposing piece of work, 26 meters in height and weighing 90 tons, occupying the entire height of the building, from the skylight to the crown of the terrace.

GASTRONOMY AND LEISURE

Breakfasts with the best views

An essential stop on the most cosmopolitan route in Bilbao, Gran Hotel Domine offers its guests various special spaces such as the breakfast terrace with impressive panoramic views of the city, where they can have their first coffee of the day overlooking the Ría and the Guggenheim whilst waving at Koons´ Puppy.

This exquisite culinary offer for breakfast includes a wide range of top quality local produce and homemade recipes. All this comes with an á la carte service offering the customer satisfaction and comfort.

The new lobby bar Sixty-One

The new bar, Sixty-One, is reminiscent of the atmosphere of London or New York. Sixty-One is the number of the hotel on Alameda de Mazarredo and it is a cozy and versatile lobby bar where guests can enjoy sophisticated cocktails and delicious snacks. Its various and distinct areas provide for different needs and moods and make it a perfect spot for both relaxing and for informal gatherings. Working at an impressive 4.20m marble table in a unique setting is a real luxury.

Tradition and modernity are intertwined at the Beltz restaurant

Gran Hotel Domine also offers the Beltz restaurant (Beltz means black in Euskera). Helmed by Abel Corrall, Beltz offers seasonal cuisine with Basque roots and international touches, largely influenced by the local produce and culture.

Corral, a 36-year old from Bilbao and chef of the Gran Hotel Domine since February 2016, is a protégé of some of the best chefs in Spain. After starting in the kitchen at 14, helping in his father´s restaurant, Corral graduated from the Hotel Management School in Bilbao. His career was further developed in restaurants such as Mugraritz, with Andoni Luis Aduriz, Guggenheim (now known as Nerua) with Josean Alika, El Bulli with Ferran Adrià, Larrea Palace with Aitor Elizegui and Azurmendi with Eneko Atxa. At the Gran Hotel Domine, he has been able to work with Martin Berasategui.

Urban cooking at Bistro Le Café

Bistro Le Café offers a casual atmosphere where delicious dishes prepared with specially selected fresh products from the region are served. With the best view of Jeff Koons´ Puppy, you can enjoy an exquisite range of coffee throughout the day.

The inspiration is drawn from the geometric abstraction of the De Stijl movement, led by Mondrian. The ceiling panels are crossed with lines of light forming a checkerboard of whites, blacks and greys.

ROOMS & SUITES

Spacious and bright rooms where every detail is treated with care

The 145 rooms at the Gran Hotel Domine, completely refurbished in 2017, stand out for their spaciousness and light and for their elegant and timeless style. Many of them feature views of the Guggenheim Museum, with luxury amenities, bathrobes, a twice-daily hospitality service and the latest technology to ensure maximum comfort.

The 10 impressive Suites – the majority of which come with a private terrace above the Guggenheim – provide exclusive care and spacious environments that will enchant guests with their warm and cosmopolitan design. Art has a special presence here thanks to Javier Mariscal´s original canvasses and the suites invite the guests to enjoy a unique experience together with many welcoming details and signature Dyptique bath products.

The Penthouse Suite, the most exclusive suite available, is undoubtedly one of the hotel´s greatest attractions. The 80 square metre room, with an additional 20 square metres of the terrace on top of the Gehry building make this suite a real jewel in the centre of Bilbao. It also includes butler service and the highest level of personalised service to satisfy even the most demanding of guests.

WELLBEING

Wellness by Domine is another innovation offered by the hotel. It offers a relaxation zone with a sauna and steam room to activate, detox and rejuvenate the body. It is a space dedicated to well-being and inner peace where guests will find the ideal place to switch off and relax. Guests may also enjoy all kinds of relaxing massages and personalised therapeutic health and beauty treatments.

Gym

The only gym in Bilbao with views of the Guggenheim Museum. The gym contains 100 m2 of space dedicated to health and wellbeing and is fully equipped with the latest Technogym equipment for cardiovascular and strength training and stretching.
