What inspired the renovation of Le Méridien Ra Beach Hotel & Spa

Overseen by designer Julie Frank of JCF Studio, the redesign of Le Méridien Ra Beach Hotel & Spa in Tarragona, Spain, was inspired by the brand’s European heritage and mid-century modern design.

After the remodel, the hotel’s 144 bedrooms now have natural materials and clean lines. The color palette used included wood tones with blue and blush accents. There are artworks from photographers Gray Malin and Maite Caramés, as well as local artists Jordi Rollán and Emilia Castaneda.

Le Méridien Ra also transformed its Beach Club, and added a new restaurant, Lo Mam.

Meanwhile, the hotel’s 1,173 square meters (12,626 square feet) of events space was redesigned to offer flexible areas suitable for a variety of needs. The feature space is the ART Room, which measures over 300 square meters (3,229 square feet) and can be separated into eight separate meeting rooms from 26 square meters (280 square feet) to 50 square meters (538 square feet). Each room has independent access and offers natural light and temperature control.
