The people behind Casa Camper would like to save the world. Not that they make a big fuss about it, but whenever possible they try to teach a lesson on healthy lifestyle to the guests at their hotel.
Next to the elevators a big sign reminds that you get more exercise using the stairs. Hammocks installed in the rooms invite you to take a break.
“We also removed the TV to stop people from watching stupid series in bed instead of getting a good nights sleep. But too many complained so we put them back,” explains Miquel Fluxà, heir to the mallorcan shoe-dynasty Camper that owns the hotel.
A pragmatic attitude that makes you feel at home at Casa Camper whether you have seen the light or not, along with the cool and welcoming design.
Each guest has an entire mini lounge at his disposal. In the bedroom warm and red colours provide a cave-like atmosphere and bathroom-views of the ‘vertical garden’ in the patio almost makes you forget that the hotel is placed in central Barcelona.
Access to a 24-hour open buffet with organic food is included in the room rate as is free use of the hotel’s bicycles.
“This is not a NGO. We are doing business here but at the same time trying to introduce the guests to our values. Then they can take it or leave it,” explains Miquel Fluxà. Seems fair enough.
