Of all the stages of humanity, one of the most significant probably took place when Homo Sapiens established the essential passage from nomadism to sedentary lifestyle. This Neolithic revolution allowed the conversion of hunter-gatherer status to agriculture, herding and later trade, giving rise to the idea of 'home'.
Related to shelter, family, belongings or the self, the answer to the concept of home is torn between place, feeling or 'being in the world'. But, what is happening in our present of over-modernity when, beyond the migratory phenomena and mass tourism, a new nomadic culture seems to have resurfaced? We live in a 'liquid' world of constant flux, where displacement, change and immediacy affect spheres of humanity as established as the family, the profession or the home. In this context of globalized travel and mobility, the need to be hosted appears more strongly than ever. The hotel industry, a human discipline that dates back to antiquity, is dedicated to the art of providing this accommodation.
Hotel Sweet Hotel is one of an extensive taxonomic collection of hotel room interiors and dependencies, carried out for more than two decades throughout a hundred countries on five continents. Addressing disciplines as diverse as sociology, geography, architecture or psychology, Hotel Sweet Hotel is conceived as a tribute to 'travel' and to the human virtue of hospitality, analyzing concepts such as difference, globalization, loneliness or complicity of the traveler with a space that becomes a temporary home. Balancing in the polarity between interior and exterior -either through the physical frame of the window, be it through the omnipresent screens of the TV, the computer or the smartphone-, at Hotel Sweet Hotel the great variety and eclecticism of rooms and habitaciones points, with subtle irony, towards a certain anthropology of travel.
