Hotels are places to be experienced rather than inhabited. Take your time and you may gradually perceive the whispers of anecdotes, stories and legends that once gave them life, from antechambers to vestibules, through galleries and corridors. Those are scenic spaces, for a moment, a fragment of life, a glimpse of dream. This is that human theatricality, with its imaginary part, this subtle blend of existence and fiction, which is our material… a material we transform with respect and passion to host other scenes, other lives.
