I’ve been promoting Hotel Arts Barcelona in the UK market as a part of the Idea Grande Communications Group since spring 2022. I’ve led press tours, facilitated international awards and secured publications in top-tier media, including Condé Nast Traveller, The Independent, The Times, The London Economic, The Telegraph, Daily Mail, Forbes, Elle, and many more. I’ve initiated strategic partnerships with sustainable businesses developing and restoring the region.

I led a press tour to Manchester introducing food and travel journalists to the Hotel Arts’ chef Paco Pérez and his cuisine. Paco has a total of five Michelin stars, with two of them at his restaurant Enoteca at the Hotel Arts. He also has a restaurant Tast in Manchester. To demonstrate the connection between contemporary art and gastronomy, which is vital for the Hotel Arts, I organised a visit to Yayoi Kusama’s exhibition at the new Factory International in Manchester, followed by a 10-course menu with an Enoteca pop-up at Tast.
