Plaza Hotel [en/esp]

20240223_005821_0000.png

One of the elements that distinguish the city of Camagüey is the state of conservation of its buildings. Especially in the historic center of the city, the authorities in charge of the restoration and preservation of the heritage have tried to make the least amount of interventions in the premises, so the atmosphere is that of a town that has elegantly resisted the passage of time.
And just as the town has maintained its beauty, so has the Plaza Hotel, one of the best known hotels located very close to the railway promenade. When I look at it from the outside, it looks like a large colonial house because of the shape of the small balcony railings and the large white doors.

Uno de los elementos que distingue la ciudad de Camagüey es el estado de conservación de sus edificaciones. Especialmente en el centro histórico de la urbe, las autoridades encargadas de la restauración y preservación del patrimonio, han intentado realizar la menor cantidad de intervenciones en los locales, por lo que el ambiente que se respira es el de un pueblo que ha resistido con elegancia el paso del tiempo.
Y como mismo mantiene su belleza la ciudad, lo ha hecho el hotel Plaza, uno de los hoteles más conocidos que se encuentra ubicado muy cerca del paseo ferroviario. Cuando lo observo desde fuera, me parece una gran casa colonial por la forma de las pequeñas barandas de sus balcones y las grandes puertas de hojas blancas.

Whenever I want to imagine what a place might have looked like in another era, I look at the monochrome version of a photo, and my mind goes back in time. I think I make that association because I remember the family photo albums I looked at as a child in my house.

Siempre que quiero imaginar cómo pudo verse un sitio en otra época, observo la versión monocromática de una foto, y mi mente se remonta al pasado. Creo que hago esa asociación porque recuerdo los álbumes de fotos familiares que miraba de niña en mi casa.

The hotel lobby is small, but very cozy. On one of its walls it has several clocks that mark the time of emblematic capitals of some countries, and even many of these are outbound markets for the hotel, which generally receives transit tourism.

El lobby del hotel es pequeño, pero muy acogedor. En una de sus paredes tiene varios relojes que marcan la hora de capitales emblemáticas de algunos países, e incluso muchos de estos constituyen mercados emisores para el hotel, que generalmente recibe un turismo de tránsito.

The furniture in that area is composed of sofas of one or three capacities, arranged in a straight line. One of the receptionists of the place explained to me that in the last remodeling process the ceiling lamp was replaced, as I noticed that it had a more modern touch than the rest.

El mobiliario de esa área está compuesto por sofás de una o tres capacidades, dispuestos de forma recta. Uno de los recepcionistas del lugar me explicó que en el último proceso de remodelación se sustituyó la lámpara de techo, pues noté que tenía un toque más moderno que el resto.

Generally speaking, all the areas are painted in light colors, and the walls are white, which gives a clean and accessible feeling to the visitor.
The corridors leading to the shopping area are narrow but very long, seemingly endless. In them the windows are made of glass, and here in Cuba we know them popularly as "Havana windows", which are those that mix elements of metal, are glazed, let in light and ventilation. The paintings that adorn them show images of the busiest streets and squares of the city.

De manera general, todas las áreas están pintadas de colores claros, y los muros de blanco, lo que da una sensación de limpieza y de que es un lugar accesible para el visitante.
Los pasillos que conducen al área de tiendas son estrechos pero bien largos, parecen interminables. En ellos las ventanas son de cristal, y aquí en Cuba la conocemos de forma popular como "ventanas habaneras ", que son las que mezclan elementos de metal, son vidriadas, dejan entrar la luz y la ventilación. Los cuadros que las adornan muestran imágenes de las calles y plazas más concurridas de la ciudad.

The entrance to the lobby bar, named El Pérgola, is formed by round arches. Its location seemed to me very different from what I usually know, since in most modern hotels, the lobby bar table area is much more integrated to the space where guests check in; unlike this one where everything is clearly divided.

La entrada al lobby bar, que se nombra El Pérgola, está formado por arcos de punto redondo. Su ubicación me pareció muy diferente a lo que normalmente conozco, pues en la mayoría de hoteles más modernos, el área de mesas del lobby bar está mucho más integrado al espacio donde se realiza el check in a los clientes; a diferencia de este donde todo está claramente dividido.

In this area, it was obviously necessary to replace the original granite floor, which makes up the rest of the premises. However, I consider that the solution was very good, because in spite of using ceramic tile, which is a more modern material, it simulates a wooden floor, which gives the idea of being much older.
The walls are covered with mosaics, located approximately one and a half meters from the floor, which are original elements of the building. The tables and chairs are also made of wood.

En esta área, evidentemente hubo que sustituir el piso de granito original, que conforma el resto de los locales. No obstante, considero que la solución fue muy buena, pues a pesar de usar losa cerámica, que es un material más moderno, estas simulan un piso de madera, que da la idea de ser mucho más antiguo.
Las paredes están cubiertas por mosaicos, ubicados aproximadamente a un metro y medio del suelo y que son elementos originales del inmueble. Las mesas y sillas también son de madera.

Undoubtedly, I enjoyed the tour of this hotel in my city, which despite having a conservative design, is still harmonious for the visitor.

Sin dudas, disfruté el recorrido por este hotel de mi ciudad, que a pesar de tener un diseño conservador, no deja de resultar armonioso para el visitante.

Qué bien que lo notaste, una de las características de Camagüey es la higiene que se respira. Es una ciudad muy limpia, y eso se traslada también a los lugares. Gracias por tu apoyo mi estimada 🥰.

This hotel is impeccably preserved, I imagine that it is managed by the government or it is only accessible to tourists, the period architecture is very nice and it has a very cozy atmosphere.

In general, all the premises that are located in the historic center are very well preserved because the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008. Thank you very much for reading my blog 🥰.

Greetings @indipnash91, It should be noted that the architectural elements inside this tourist hotel are very unique. It should be noted that the color, shape and brightness of the electric lamps especially hanging down from the ceiling are attractive. The ornamental plants grown in small pots inside the hotel show that the hotel follows an environmentally friendly concept. The sofa arrangements and chair arrangements arranged for the guests are exquisite.

In the post I did not refer much to ornamental plants but you are right, it is remarkable the commitment to have a harmonious relationship with the environment. Thanks for reading my blog @madushanka, I always find it instructive to read your criteria.
