This is the suitcase that my great grandpa Enrique Holt used to take with for his travels around Europe. We got it back in one of my dad´s latest travel to Argentina, where our family lives. I have a big traveller´s family, from both my mums -more italian rooted- and my dad´s -german/english/southernfrench-. This beautiful treasure still has the hotel tags and stickers that he got while staying in the diferent hotels back when travelling was a big thing. I want to go to all these hotels -at least the ones that still exist- before i die, to follow the roots of a traveller family.
Many important things have happened in hotels in my family.
We are nomads.
These are some of the hotels i have to go following the roots of the golden age of travel of my dad´s family :
le grand hotel of paris
the burnier hotel in osorio , chile
, which doesnt exist as a hotel anymore, but the building is still there.
the park lane hotel in london
the grand excelsior in sorrento, italy
