The reopening of METT Barcelona marks the transformation of the historic Gran Hotel La Florida, a landmark perched on Tibidabo Hill overlooking the city. Led by Kokaistudios, the interior renovation reinterprets the building’s architectural heritage through a contemporary lens, balancing careful preservation with a refined and modern hospitality language.
Originally conceived in a classic architectural style, the hotel has long been a secluded retreat for discerning travelers. In 2024, Sunset Group partnered with ATOM to reposition the property. Kokaistudios was commissioned to lead the interior renovation, aligning the hotel’s historic character with the Mediterranean identity of the METT brand. The intervention preserves the building’s original structure while reconfiguring interior spaces to improve natural light and visual connections to the surrounding landscape.
