Four Seasons Gresham Palace, Budapest, Hungary
———————————————–

On the banks of the Danube in the heart of Budapest, the Four Seasons Gresham Palace is an Art Nouveau masterpiece. Lovingly restored – from the intricate stonework on the façade to the wrought iron entranceway and light-flooded atrium – you’ll find design flourishes throughout, including the use of two million mosaic tiles and stunning staircases leading to the rooms. Beyond the art and architecture, you’ll find the hotel’s services are as indulgent as the setting, from fine dining overlooking the river to a luxury spa and indoor pool.

K+K Hotel Central Prague, Prague, Czech Republic
—————————————————–

Art Nouveau is everywhere in Prague, not least because the seminal Czech painter and illustrator Alphonse Mucha was one of the leading lights of the movement, and his influence is still felt to this day. You’ll see it as you enter the four-star K+K Hotel Central Prague, from the glass awning and lettering above the door to the outdoor lamps to the distinctive, historic interior design, which is complemented by modern services and facilities, including a bar and bistro servicing Czech specialties, and a wellness area with sauna.

Hotel Torre del Remei, Bolvir, Spain
—————————————–

In Catalonia, the Art Nouveau movement was known as Modernisme, which added a distinctly Catalan flair to the architecture and design. The Hotel Torre del Remei was built at the turn of the 20th century and brought Art Nouveau to what was then a stately home in the Catalan countryside. You can still feel it throughout this five-star luxury hotel, where you can enjoy haute cuisine in the restaurant, relax in the hotel’s extensive grounds or use it as a base to explore the wild beauty of the Pyrenean landscape.
