Ábaco At Interihotel 2025: When A Small Yet Great Hotel Crosses Borders of Hotel Ábaco in Altea. Official Website.

Design is emotion. And when that emotion is lived with authenticity, the result is not only visible — it is felt.

That is why, for the entire team at Hotel Ábaco, it has been a true honour to take part in Interihotel 2025, the leading international event in interior design for hotels and restaurants.

Held in Barcelona, Interihotel once again brought together the most influential voices in the sector: hoteliers, interior designers, architects, creatives, investors and leading brands who, through their vision and commitment, are shaping the future of hospitality design. A space for inspiration, dialogue and connection, where detail, aesthetics and functionality come together with the soul of every project.

The essence of Ábaco at a round table on boutique hotels with local identity

Our co-founder, Adelina, was invited to speak at the round table “Success Stories in Boutique Hotels with Local Identity”, part of Interihotel’s official 2025 programme. During her talk, she shared the philosophy that defines Hotel Ábaco: a way of understanding hospitality in which design is not just visual, but an extension of the story, the place, and the emotions that inhabit it.

From her experience leading a hotel with soul, she explained how each space at Ábaco is born from a real journey, a shared memory, or a moment that left a lasting mark. Far from fleeting trends or superficial luxury, Ábaco embraces what endures: warmth, harmony, natural materials, daylight, and meaningful details. Because when a guest feels truly at home, design has fulfilled its deepest purpose.

Interihotel: a platform for connection and inspiration

Being part of Interihotel 2025 has meant far more than simply attending a trade fair. It has been a chance to actively engage with a community that believes in the transformative power of design.

In today’s context — where travellers seek authenticity, well-being and connection — design becomes more than aesthetics. It becomes the vehicle of experience. And in this sense, Ábaco resonated with many professionals who recognised in our project a rare coherence between substance and style.

Beyond the round table, our presence at Interihotel allowed us to discover cutting-edge proposals, new approaches to sustainability in interior design, and to forge valuable connections with professionals who share our sensibility.

From Altea to the national stage: a journey we’re proud of

Being invited to Interihotel marks an important milestone for us. Because although Ábaco was born as a small, family-run, locally rooted hotel, its story has travelled far.

Every year, we welcome travellers from around the world who discover in our rooms, houses and service something beyond comfort — a deeply human, sensory and emotional experience. That the professional community now sees and values this work — this love for detail — fills us with pride and inspires us to grow without ever losing our essence.

Design as value, emotion as destination

At Hotel Ábaco, we believe hospitality is an art. And that interior design is one of its most powerful tools for creating atmospheres, telling stories and crafting lasting memories.

We are deeply grateful to Interihotel 2025 for welcoming us and offering a space in which to share what we are: a life project that has transformed dreams into rooms with soul.

Because beyond luxury or trends, what remains unforgettable — is what is truly felt.
