Guests who cross the hallowed threshold of Hostal de la Gavina, one of the leading luxury beach resorts near Barcelona, are left with an overriding feeling that the grandeur of the golden age of travel gloriously lives on in the present day, and the hotel’s collection of timelessly furnished rooms attests to this.
An unparalleled resort on the Costa Brava, the hotel’s 76 rooms and suites are renowned for their individuality, offering both front and lateral sea views alongside bay and garden views. Each of the hotel’s 3 floors are themed with various decorative elements the Ensesa family have collected during the course of their travels around the globe. Religious artefacts and Castilian furnishings line the corridors of the first floor, Asian antiquities grace the second floor, including two majestic red cupboards and Oriental engravings procured from Ensesa’s visits to The Land of the Rising Sun, while a Mediterranean theme presides over the third floor.Consistent with La Gavina’s timeless aura, rooms and suites are furnished in either classic Mediterranean, Imperial or Elizabethan style, swankily upholstered in silk with elegant hand-blown Murano glass light fittings and beds enveloped in high thread count Egyptian cotton. Decadent Italian marble bathrooms feature either bathtubs or rainforest showers with couple-friendly twin sinks, while deep pile monogrammed bathrobes and luxurious toiletries complete the picture. The hotel has never once relied upon the skills of an interior designer, simply the trained artistic eye and exquisite taste of the visionary entrepreneur Josep Ensesa i Gubert himself. Subsequent generations of his family have tirelessly carried on their great-grandfather’s legacy in maintaining the hotel’s reputation as one of the finest in the Costa Brava.
