...TO SEVILLE

The modern version of the Grand Tour looks something like this.

"For me, when it comes to homes and properties, it's always about love at first sight," says Madridbased Cristina Lozano, who was looking for a house on Menorca seven years ago when a small hotel caught her eye. "I thought, Why not? I've traveled all my life and always dreamed of having a hotel or country house to run exactly as I wanted." For her unexpected turn as hotelier, she invented a British alter ego, Cristine Bedfor, to front the brand, and she enlisted her friend Lorenzo Castillocelebrated maximalist and Elle Decor A-List designer-to make Cristine Bedfor Menorca a reality. Recently Castillo was at Lozano's side in Seville when love struck again. A landmark building became her third hotel and their latest collaboration: Cristine Bedfor Seville.
