In April, Wallpaper* went to check out the launch of the Fuenso International Shoe Design Awards at Hospes Maricel in Mallorca.
Comprised of multiple brands, Fuenso focuses on finding the best life quality for guests with its hotels (Hospes), events, cuisine, spa treatments and bedding. This is the second time the Maricel has seduced us - it won Best Suite for its new Pool Terrace Suite in 2009 - and we like Hospes' concept so much that we are collaborating on a special project for our Handmade issue in August.
The Fuenso International Shoe Design Awards went smoothly, surrounded by the sea, delicious food and well-heeled, beautiful people. MBT picked up the 'Energy' award, Ursula Mascaro won the award for 'Care' and Pura Lopez Propuesta 2, the award for 'Seduction'.
The hotel is located 15 minutes drive from Palma city centre.
Inside the hotel
