Named after Margot, the infamously aloof yet elegant character played by Gwyneth Paltrow in the Royal Tenenbaums, one of Wes Andersons most iconic works. In an undiluted nod towards the celebrated director, and his intricate, distinguishable aesthetic, the character’s cool and understated persona sets the tone for this boutique retreat.

Considering the tranquil yet contemporary aesthetic, it is little surprise that owners, father and daughter duo Sandra and Sergio Durany, both come from backgrounds in design. Adding to the privacy and sense of discreet luxury, the modest nine-bedroom hotel has a maximum capacity of just eighteen guests.

Rooms embellished with off-beat materials including pale wood and white walls, wonderfully complimented by polished concrete floors and surfaces are teamed with fine Egyptian cotton and lavish cashmere. Skylights add to the impossibly light and airy vibe in this exquisitely used space, with luscious hanging plants furnishing the lobby area, bringing an extra surge of unprocessed calm to this boutique and eco-aware hideout.
