Áurea Palacio De Correos: A design pearl featuring Geberit AquaClean Sela

This hotel undoubtedly appeals to wine-loving travellers to Spain. The Áurea Palacio De Correos is located in the heart of Logroño, the centre of the capital of the province of La Rioja, where Spain’s most famous grapes are grown.

Preserving old facades

The Áurea Palacio De Correos is the first five-star hotel in the city. The venerable building was once Logroño’s main post office – and the renovation has preserved its striking neo-baroque façades. Inside, however, nothing reminds of the property’s former purpose. But its heritage certainly does.

Guests of the hotel enter a luxurious establishment in the Art Deco style, but with a touch of 21st-century modernity. They can enjoy the playful ceiling mouldings and nostalgic, exotic wallpaper, as well as the minimalist furnishings that extend into the bathroom.

The many benefits of shower toilets

The Geberit AquaClean Sela shower toilets, with their simple and elegant design, are also installed there. The fact that fit in perfectly with the hotel’s design language is a nice side effect. But the shower toilet has several other benefits for the hotel. For example, it is a two-in-one solution that eliminates the need for a bidet with a shower toilet. ‘This saves space, materials and installation costs,’ says Alfredo Cabeza, Head of Marketing at Geberit in Spain. ‘In addition, there is one less element to clean, which also reduces the workload for the housekeeping staff.’

The shower toilet also has advantages for guests: ‘It’s more convenient because you don’t have to leave the toilet to clean yourself,’ says Alfredo Cabeza. And it’s easy to use: the shower function is activated at the push of a button. This is how a five-star hotel like the Áurea Palacio De Correos scores with luxury that extends to the bathroom.
