Mecanismo | 西班牙Akelarre Hotel酒店

Akelarre酒店坐落在西班牙SanSebastián海岸附近的Monte Igueldo山脉上，享有Biscay海湾、French-Basque海岸线和Vizcaya海岸悬崖的广阔景致。Akelarre酒店经历了四十余年的发展和品牌塑造，在兼顾传统与潮流的同时始终坚持着探索与创新。环境与创意的融合是Akelarre酒店的灵魂所在。这个由马德里Mecanismo建筑工作室设计的五星级酒店，有着22间客房和舒适的水疗中心环境，还有一家米其林三星级的Akelarre餐厅，这是酒店位置非常特殊的另外一个原因。自1975年以来，巴斯克高级烹饪厨师Pedro Subijana一直致力于该餐厅，该餐厅于2007年获得了第三颗星（该地区共有17家米其林星级餐厅）。SanSebastián已经成为某种程度上的一个国际美食目的地，而Akelarre酒店则成为美食家的最佳目的地。该项目最终实现了Akelarre酒店的品牌精髓和创新精神以及Messence建筑工作室对设计的探索与专注度的完美融合。

Perched on the hillside of Monte Igueldo near San Sebastián on the northern coast of Spain, Akelarre Hotel enjoys expansive views of the Bay of Biscay as well as the French-Basque coastline and the coastal cliffs of Vizcaya. While providing a vast and imposing natural landscape whose mesmeric beauty makes this location the perfect setting for this five-star, 22-room hotel and spa by Madrid-based architectural studio Mecanismo, there is another reason that makes the hotel’s location quite exceptional: the 3-Michelin Star Akelarre Restaurant. Helmed since 1975 by chef and owner Pedro Subijana, one of the pioneers of Basque haute cuisine, the restaurant received its third star in 2007. With a total of 17 Michelin stars (the highest concentration in the world in relation to the number of inhabitants), San Sebastián has become somewhat of an international gastronomic destination making the Akelarre Hotel a definitive port of call for gourmands and jetsetters alike.

酒店建在餐厅下面的山坡上，这种布局不仅为餐厅提供了优越的地理位置，而且还确保了客房和公共区域可以面向大海。在建筑底部，由五块石头砌成的立方体造型将客房分为两层，每块都精心定位面向不同的方向以确保客房的隐私，而在建筑的顶部，建筑师设计了具有曲线美感的露台，这些露台同样由石头砌筑而成，并通过铺有木板的花园区域与平台的其他部分相连。该设计手法保证了极佳的水平视野。

Taking advantage of its mountainous location, the hotel is built into the hillside below the restaurant, its octagonal dining room now crowning the staggered volumes underneath. This configuration not only lends the restaurant, both literally and figuratively, the position it deserves, but it also ensures that both the guest rooms and the communal areas face the sea. On the bottom, five stone-clad cubes house the guest rooms in two floors, each block carefully orientated in a different direction to ensure privacy, while on top, the architects have designed curvaceous terraces, which seem to have been sculpted out of the stone, connected to the hotel’s public areas through decked walkways.

基于这一背景，Mecanismo建筑工作室为Akelarre酒店精心构思了新的设计和建造方案。建筑的外观和内部设计均采用天然材料，主要以橡木和灰色filita石材为基础，展示各种装饰饰面和工艺材料；材料、家具和细部的准确选择赋予了酒店与众不同的特质，不同的材料作为纽带将设计中的概念、形式与功能串联起来。石材、木材和亚麻纺织物的运用充分尊重了天然材料的内在本质，同时迎合了新的技术和使用需求，从而赋予了项目乃至设计团队独特的内涵。尽管建筑采用极简主义装饰和现代主义风格，但酒店将大理石和黄铜作为装饰元素，以及采用连接所有楼层的考顿钢螺旋楼梯，传达出了酒店奢华的氛围，而大型玻璃装饰区域为酒店提供广阔的视野。室内设计反映了周围景观的宁静和优美，

Both the exterior and interior design is underpinned by the use of natural materials, primarily oak and grey filita stone, showcased in a variety of finishes, techniques and treatments that convey a sensual luxuriance despite the austere sensibility of the modernist architecture and the minimalism décor. Complemented with marble and brass elements, as well as a stunning spiral staircase in corten steel that connects all the levels, the interiors reflect both the tranquillity and the sculptural beauty of the surrounding landscape which is ever-present throughout the hotel courtesy of its large glazed areas offering expansive views.

除了米其林三星级Akelarre餐厅外，客人还可以享受Oteiza酒吧餐厅，该餐厅以著名的巴斯克雕塑家Jorge Oteiza命名，开敞的空间旨在吸引和欢迎顾客，同时将壮观的全景视野通过窗户引入室内，客人可以在那里品尝巴斯克风味的午餐和晚餐，还可以在朝向海洋的户外露台上享用餐厅的招牌鸡尾酒。但美食的乐趣还不止于此，客人还可以参观酒窖，酒窖分别用做品酒室以及储酒和展示品种的空间，并通过巨大的玻璃墙进行分隔，该酒窖藏有来自世界各地的650多种优质品质的葡萄酒，高大的品酒桌成为空间中的主体，灯光的位置凸显出酒瓶的存在，这也是餐厅酒窖中最重要的元素之一，参观后客人还可以参加品酒活动。

Apart from the 3-Michelin Star Akelarre restaurant, guests also have access to the Oteiza bar-restaurant—named after renowned Basque sculptor Jorge Oteiza, a regular patron of the restaurant above—where they can savour Basque-inspired lunch and dinner menus as well as a selection of signature cocktails, best enjoyed on the ocean-facing terrace outside. But the gourmet delights don’t end here; guests can tour the impressive wine cellar next door, which stores more than 650 distinguished wines from all around the world, as well as take part in wine tastings.

在酒店较低的楼层，一个800㎡的Akelarre水疗中心为客人提供了奢华的水疗服务，客人可以尽情享受各种护理服务，水疗区提供包括热石按摩和反射疗法，以及来自Sisley Paris的天然化妆品植物治疗面部护理，桑拿浴室，大理石蒸汽浴室和石砌加热水疗池的服务。无论客人选择什么，他们都可以在水疗后躺在休息区的日光浴椅上放松一下，在享受海洋美景的同时品饮一杯香茶。

On the lower level, the 800 square metre Akelarre Spa offers guests an opportunity to pamper their body with the lavishness they have been treating their taste buds to upstairs. Offering a wide selection of treatments, from hot stone massage and reflexotherapy to phytoaromatherapy facials with natural cosmetics from Sisley Paris, as well as a sauna, a marble-clad steam room, and a stone-clad heated hydrotherapy pool, guests are spoiled for choice. Whatever they select, they can stretch out on a sun lounger in the relaxation area after their treatment and sip a cup of tea while gazing at the ocean—although if we were them, we’d be probably thinking about our next meal.
