02 — Architecture & Design NPrieto Studio Led by Nuria Prieto
NPrieto Studio defines the aesthetic and experiential standard for every ALMAS-managed asset — from initial concept through to turn-key specification. With 23 years of practice and 24 hotels across 18 countries, Nuria Prieto brings a design methodology that is not a creative service — it is a value instrument. The studio holds official designer recognition from Marriott International — one of the most selective institutional endorsements in global hospitality. Their branded residence design approach consistently generates a 28–45% price premium over unbranded comparable stock — a figure that directly protects and enhances investor returns. Design-to-delivery integration from concept stage means no misalignment between vision and execution. Visit nprieto.com
