GRAND HOTEL CENTENARI VALENCIA WINS THE PORCELANOSA AWARD FOR BEST NATIONAL HOTEL PROJECT  

The Grand Hotel Centenari Valencia has been honored with the Special Mention for ‘Best National Hotel Project’ at the 16th edition of the Porcelanosa Architecture, Interior Design, and Real Estate Development Awards.

The awards ceremony took place at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on Thursday, May 29, 2025. Héctor Colonques, President of Porcelanosa Grupo, addressed the attendees: “Today, we bring together seasoned professionals and young talents who, through their creativity and dedication, are shaping the future of our architecture.”

Throughout the evening, the significance of design in creating unique brand experiences was emphasized, as well as the power of architecture and interior design to convey emotions and sensations. The prestigious list of awarded projects showcased the excellence and meticulous work of industry professionals. The event featured three main awards and eight special mentions.

The award was received by M. Ángeles Ros, partner architect at ERRE, and Valencian entrepreneur Francisco Martínez, the hotel’s owner. The project was developed by ACHM Hotels by Marriott, a leading hotel management company in Southern Europe, chaired by Antonio Catalán.

ERRE’s architectural proposal, responsible for the complete renovation and interior design, incorporates a carefully curated selection of high-end materials and products from Porcelanosa, prioritizing durability and custom design. For example, in the ground floor lobby, a standout feature is the elegant hexagonal patterned flooring, custom-made and supplied by L’Antic Colonial, combining two Bianca polished tones with green polished marble. The guest rooms feature a beautiful Figure Shell Light natural stone mosaic in the vanity areas, notable for its shell-shaped motif. In the showers, 120×120 floor tiles and 60×120 wall tiles from the TERRA BONE ceramic collection were used. The bathroom countertops are made from Krion Beige Marfil L505, contrasting with the totem-style sinks crafted from Krion L903 Grey Cement.
