De Las Letras Hotel and RestaurantOpen only since July, this stylish establishment has livened up the choice of hotels in the city centre.
In its past, the building has provided apartment and office accommodation, and its exterior and several internal features like the old tiles have been preserved.
But it has been completely refurbished to create 103 rooms designed in contemporary style using bold colours.
The walls are adorned with literary quotations, with books scattered around the public areas.
As much emphasis is placed on the quality of the food as on the rooms, and a separate side-street entrance is encouraging non-residents to use the bar as a meeting place, before moving into the restaurant area.
As a result, the atmosphere is unlike that of most hotels, where the public rooms can be unappealing, offering instead a city-centre buzz and a sense that the place is really part of the life of the city.
