La Posada de Babel was born more than thirty years ago as a rural hotel with a different outlook. Its founders, a couple based in Madrid, searched for the ideal place where their family could grow in a special environment. They found it in a corner of Asturias called La Pereda, nestled between the foothills of the Sierra del Cuera and the cliffs of the Cantabrian Sea. Surrounded by immense oaks, chestnut trees, beeches, birches, their daughters grew up, and their hotel, with a different outlook, became witness to countless art exhibitions, concerts, celebrations, and an incalculable number of guests eager to experience the place in a “different” way.
Little by little, a circle of friends began to form, among whom I have the privilege of counting myself and my family. Like the hotel, we have grown older, and its owners, Blanca and Lucas, keeping the same youthful spirit as in the beginning, decided it was time to revitalize it.
The first step was to change the relationship with the guest, blending lobby, reception, living room, dining room, kitchen, so that everyone could feel free to experience the place in their own way, almost as if it were their own home. Reflecting on how to make the spaces speak the same language, we turned to the color of the lobby ceiling, always there since we were young, and extended it to every corner. Cheerful, unruly, bold, elegant, surprising, the indigo blue converses with everything that came before it, bringing a sense of naturalness which, perhaps, is the word that best reflects youth.
All the furniture has been kept, intervened upon to reveal fragments of its story, uncovering the fabrics of its old upholsteries, the wood of its structure, the staples, the marks of woodworm. Beauty is everywhere; one simply has to know how to see it.
Everything is reused, everything is rejuvenated. New furniture appears, meeting new needs, made from the most straightforward material: untreated iron, so that little by little it will age and, with time, we will think it had always been there. A large island invites people to have breakfast, lunch, dinner, gather, work, whatever it may be; everyone is free to do as they wish, because that is what it is all about. Lighting becomes part of the furniture, extending over what used to be the living room and is now separated by cages that function as a pantry. Everything is in its place, but it could just as well be elsewhere.
The kitchen, the old kitchen, is overtaken by new furniture in the same material, so it can be used by all, making the spaces much more enduring. Holes connecting rooms, unfinished edges, incomplete paintwork, all hint that things could be this way, but also in many other ways. The bedrooms are overtaken by the same color, indigo, surprising us with the elegance of the result, something unexpected.
And the surroundings, joined to the interior through huge glass doors that fold away, eliminate the barrier between inside and outside so that the lush green of the meadow allies with the indigo to keep playing, because color, despite the fear we often have of it, is always, always welcome.
La Posada de Babel rejuvenates and now chooses to be called, simply, La Posada, to remain a hotel with a different outlook and so, perhaps, its owners, once again in love with the place, may decide that in another thirty years or so, it will need to be rejuvenated once again, and MARIANO will be there to make it happen.
