Menorca Experimental Hotel, Spain
A restored 19th-century finca
Celebrated for its untouched beauty, Menorca is often hailed as the most unspoilt gem of the Balearic Islands. Along its serene coastline lies the Menorca Experimental Hotel, a haven where tranquillity meets agriturismo. Spread across 30 hectares of lush land, this 19th-century finca has been thoughtfully restored by local artisans under the creative vision of French interior designer Dorothée Meilichzon.
Meilichzon, renowned for her expertise in hospitality design, brings her signature style to the retreat — an interplay of bold colours, tactile textures, and surprising patterns. Her work captures the essence of effortless comfort, transforming the hotel into an artist’s idyllic holiday home. The lovingly restored finca features 43 rooms, each adorned with vibrant d.cor, soft curves, and a harmonious blend of materials that reflect the relaxed lifestyle of the Balearic Islands.
Craftsmanship takes centre stage throughout the property. Iconic pieces such as Børge Mogensen’s Spanish Chair and J39 Chair, alongside Hans J. Wegner’s J16 Stool, enrich the restaurant and rooms, infusing a Scandinavian elegance into this Mediterranean sanctuary. The combination creates an elegant balance of classic design and laid-back island living.
Bringing a place to life
Harmonious interior design caters to a spectrum of human needs — from physical comfort to emotional and social fulfilment — creating environments that respect the varied ways people live, work, and connect. A balanced approach, integrating well-crafted furniture, transforms a space into an energising sanctuary, blending connection and solitude.
