grapple hotel ****

I was commissioned to design the visual identity, signage, and brand materials for grapple hotel — a new 4-star retreat in Portugal’s Douro Valley. The aim was to reflect its elegant, contemporary atmosphere through a cohesive brand experience. Located in the UNESCO-listed Douro Valley, grapple hotel offers 13 rooms, a spa, outdoor leisure areas, and refined gastronomy. Designed by Nini Andrade Silva, with architecture by Daniela Rebelo, it combines sophistication and comfort in a stunning natural setting. Highlights include outdoor and indoor pools, a saltwater kids’ pool, spa facilities, gardens, and an artificial lake.

thank you.
