 The Hotel De Las Letras H&R pays homage to the world of literature and to the pictogram as the first element of written language, with texts by different authors silkscreen printed on the walls throughout the hotel, including poems, essays and extracts from stories.
The building is listed as part of the Historic Heritage of the city and dates from 1917. It was restored for use as a hotel in 2005. The restoration of the whole building was carried out using top grade materials in order to complement and emphasise the original features:
- The distribution of areas and the original floor heights of the building.
- The magnificent orientation with three outside faades on the streets Gran Va, Caballero de Gracias and Clavel.
- The five interior patios which provide good natural lighting to all the floors.
- Two original staircases, in a perfect state of preservation.
- Coffered ceilings, tiles, arches and columns from the period.
The treatment of colour and light, modern materials used in a classic way, the choice of all the details and elegant, original and modern decoration, denote that the hotel combines the buildings charm with 21st century modernity, making it the most up-to-date historic hotel in the city, the most modern classic in the Gran Va.
The rooms have been planned and designed down to the smallest details, from the finishes to natural fabrics in cotton and linen, exclusively designed carpets made in Nepal, specially made furniture with different coloured lacquers and different types of lighting, everything chosen to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
