Hotel Ecos del Sella: a natural retreat with a designer soul. Nominated for the Goyart Interior Design Awards.

Nestled in the heart of the Picos de Europa, in the Sella River Valley, Hotel Ecos del Sella is not just a charming rural accommodation: it's an immersive experience of wellness, design, and sustainability. A place where every corner has been designed to excite, connect with nature, and create lasting memories.

Its aesthetic and functional proposal brilliantly represents the values that inspire the Goyart Interior Design Awards: originality, sensitivity, coherence, attention to detail, and commitment to the environment. Therefore, we propose the Hotel Ecos del Sella as a leading candidate in this edition. Below, we review why this project goes far beyond decoration: it is a living manifesto of emotional and

1. A masterful integration with the natural environment.

Located on a property of over 8,500 m², the hotel literally blends into the landscape. The architecture connects with the Asturian surroundings through soft lines, fine materials, and large windows that open the spaces to the outdoors. It doesn't impose itself; it blends in.

Everything is designed to make visitors feel as if nature has entered the building. From the reception to the rooms, a serene connection with the greenery, the river, and the mountains permeates the space. Native vegetation is part of the visual and emotional experience, while outdoor spaces, such as terraces and paths, invite contemplation and pause.

2. A jungle style with a boutique touch.

The interior design of Ecos del Sella is striking from the first step. Its style combines botanical and jungle influences with a modern boutique approach, creating a sophisticated, welcoming, and unconventional atmosphere.

Decorative animal figures, wallpapers with natural motifs, organic lighting, plant fibers, soft fabrics, and original pieces add personality without overwhelming the interior. Each room is distinct and conveys its own visual story, but they all share an aesthetic coherence based on the natural, the sensorial, and the enveloping.

The decor—some pieces provided by Goyart—is not a simple staging: it is a statement of intent, a way of communicating with emotion and style. It is no surprise that many guests in their reviews describe the place as “a jungle of design” or “a hotel decorated with care and a lot of attention.”

3. Details that take care of the guest experience.

At Ecos del Sella, the interior design isn't just about beauty: it's about well-being. Each room has been designed to offer a complete sensory experience. Details such as the pillow menu, the rain shower, the warm, adjustable lighting, and the XL beds with superior-quality linens demonstrate an unusual level of care.

Some accommodations offer beautiful rooms. Here, the design goes even further: it embraces the guest, accompanies them. Comfort is present in every choice, from the layout to the acoustics, from the aromas to the selection of materials that invite the touch.

The bathrooms are relaxing spaces with their own unique style, many of them with Jacuzzis, natural textures, and views of the surroundings. The result is a feeling of "ideal home" that leaves a lasting impression.

4. Honest and sustainable materials.

One of the pillars of Ecos del Sella is true sustainability, not just aesthetics. The selection of materials follows ecological criteria: certified wood, organic textiles, local stone, and environmentally friendly paints. Every choice reflects an environmental awareness that fits perfectly with today's values of responsible design.

But in addition to being ecological, the materials are warm, noble, and timeless. They connect with Asturian tradition, reinterpreted from a contemporary perspective. This adds authenticity and reinforces the hotel's personality.

It's no coincidence that many of the decorative pieces are unique, custom-made, or handcrafted. The message is clear: beauty can (and should) also be durable, ethical, and with

5. Emotional architecture at the service of the landscape.

The architectural design of Ecos del Sella has been carefully designed so that every angle and every room connects with its surroundings. Large windows allow sunlight to flood the spaces during the day, while at night the hotel becomes an intimate and warm retreat.

The proportions, the high ceilings, the textures on the walls and floors, the visual rhythms… Everything contributes to creating a harmonious atmosphere. It's an architecture that doesn't impose itself, but rather accompanies and frames the guest experience.

In the hallways and common areas, a design philosophy that seeks balance, calm, and visual surprise is evident. Even the transit spaces are designed to inspire. The result is a building that seems to have grown with the landscape, as if it had always been there.

6. A team that extends style to service.

The design doesn't end with the walls or the furniture. At Ecos del Sella, hospitality is part of the interior design. The team works with discretion, elegance, and closeness, aligned with the emotional aesthetic of the project.

Guests praise the attentive, personalized, and serene service. The staff's smiles, their helpful advice, the thoughtful breakfasts, and the attention to detail enhance the experience in invisible but essential ways.

This human and sensitive dimension of the service is consistent with everything the space communicates. Because design is not just seen: it is lived, felt, and

7. Opinions that support: beauty that truly moves.

Reviews on Google, Booking.com, and other platforms confirm that the hotel delivers on its promises. The ratings are sky-high, and one thing is constant: people are thrilled. Here are some comments:

• “A beautiful hotel, very quiet and tastefully decorated.”
• “Jungle style, original, cozy, different from anything I've seen.”
• “Everything is thought out down to the smallest detail. It's like a designer retreat in the heart of nature.”
• “We will definitely be back. We felt at home from the first moment.”

These kinds of reactions aren't bought or improvised: they reflect a coherent, sensitive, and well-executed project. Exactly what the Goyart Awards are looking for.

8. Echoes of the Sella and Goyart: a connection that already exists.

The connection between Goyart and Ecos del Sella is not merely conceptual: several of their decorative pieces were selected from our collections. Paintings, sculptures, and visual elements that add character to their bedrooms and living rooms were born with the same purpose that drives our project: to inspire through art and design. This real, tangible, and aesthetic collaboration makes us especially happy. And it further reinforces the value of submitting their candidacy. Because Ecos del Sella not only shares our values: they have put them into practice with sensitivity, consistency, and excellence.

🎯 Conclusion: a place that deserves to be recognized.

Hotel Ecos del Sella is more than just a beautiful hotel. It's a project with soul, transforming relaxation into an aesthetic and emotional experience. An example of how to design with meaning, respect the environment, move visitors, and create functional beauty.

For all these reasons—its originality, its style, its commitment to environmental issues, its attention to detail, its collaboration with Goyart, and its real impact on visitors—we consider it a strong candidate for the Goyart Interior Design Awards. It deserves more than just to be nominated. It deserves to be celebrated.
