Hotel Victoria: The reopening of a classic with 21st century standards
The emblematic establishment of the Gran Meliá chain has reopened its doors for the 2025 season. At Talat, we have supported this renaissance to be based on the fundamental pillars of the safety, efficiency and compliance.
THE CHALLENGE? ADAPTING A CLASSIC TO TODAY'S REQUIREMENTS
Renovating a historic hotel is not simply updating its image. It is an exercise in critical engineering where every technical decision directly impacts the safety of guests and the operational viability of the facility.
The key question we ask ourselves: How can we completely modernize the facilities without compromising the architectural essence of the Hotel Victoria?
In this casethe priority of the project was focused on the Fire Protection. Thus, at Talat, we developed an extinguishing system consisting of the following points:
- Expansion of fire hydrant network strategically distributed
- Complete installation of automatic sprinklers state-of-the-art
- New firefighting booster set sized for the actual needs of the building
In addition to a smart zoning which consisted of the compartmentalization of stairways according to current regulations, protection of optimized evacuation routes and sectorization of common areas for effective containment.
On the other hand, we are also carrying out the Integral Renovation of facilities based on the systems of Air Conditioning and Plumbing. This included:
- Complete replacement of vertical mullions and horizontal distribution
- State-of-the-art materials with increased durability and efficiency
- Regulatory compliance in all technical and safety aspects
In addition to achieving energy efficiency of the boiler system. In total, 3 boilers of 800 kW each. (2,400 kW total) currently operating with high-efficiency gas technology, which in turn significantly reduces consumption energy and achieving optimized maintenance for maximum availability
The Hotel Victoria has been reborn not only as a renovated establishment, but also as a benchmark in hotel security. Such a renovation demonstrates that critical, customized engineering can completely transform the operability and safety of a historic facility, preparing it for the decades to come.
This project exemplifies where hotel renovation needs to evolve:
- Proactive securitynot reactive
- Integrated efficiency from design
- Regulatory adaptability anticipated
- Predictive maintenance incorporated
