His wife Evelyne presides over the 19room hotel, which includes six airy CubeLofts. In these coveted rooms, the bath and closet are contained within a glass cube Julen designed, while the bedroom is perched above it on the second floor. Deluxe double rooms offer mountain views from freestanding bathtubs, and beds literally take center stage in the middle of standard double rooms. All of them marry cool glass and steel with warm walnut wood and velvet. Julen, a prolific product designer who crafts the likes of rolling chairs and mirrors adorned with candle holders in his studio—many of which are available in his
on-premise design shop—custom made most of the hotel’s furnishings, from the dramatic chandeliers to the wide, plush sofas. “I like to work with materials that have their own story. I discover things like a child,” he notes. Outside of the rooms, guests find sanctuary at the spa, where a central whirlpool and more cubes, seven glass and timber ones each inspired by the Seven days of Creation delineated in the Old Testament’s Book of Genesis, await. While embracing Buddhist principles is a norm at many spas, reimagining Catholicism felt natural for Julen. “Our religion here is very Catholic. Taking that theme into wellness is
something new,” he says. “I do what I think is best; I don’t follow trends.” Day one’s celebration of light, for example, takes the form of a dark steam room illuminated by an art projection. “For the second day, the separation of water and air, we made a field of infrared heated glass pearls. You lie on them, look up, and see a video installation of sky and thunderstorms. For the third day, the invention of the plant world, we made a tropical room with a real plant wall and one hundred percent humidity. It’s like you’re in a rainforest,” Julen explains. In the sauna, images of the Hubble telescope capture the fourth day’s creation of the planets and the tide; from inside a floating basin, sounds of dolphins and birds evoke the fifth day’s rise of the animal world; and mirrors spouting messages of positive reinforcement convey the sixth day’s introduction of human beings. For the seventh day of rest and meditation, guests lie on a waterbed and gaze up at Michelangelo’s “the Creation of Adam,” while classical music plays in the background. The goal, Julen says, “is to be still and observe.” hd
