TABACOS : Tobacco shop.
EXP. Nº 014 : Concession or license number.
Lotería de Navidad sin recargo (inside poster) : “Christmas lottery without surcharge.”
English (secondary, global branding)
Drink Ice Cold (Coca-Cola sign inside).
Top-down regulation: The Tabacos sign is a state-controlled franchise. In Spain, tobacco shops (estancos) are regulated by the government, and every one has a license number (Exp. Nº ...). The standardized design (yellow text on red background with the tobacco symbol “T”) shows uniformity across the country. This is not just commerce but part of the institutional landscape of the state.
Spanish as the dominant code: Clear, functional, and necessary for locals. Reinforces the national monopoly status of tobacco distribution.
English as a global commercial layer: Coca-Cola’s Drink Ice Cold adds a touch of global advertising discourse inside the shop. While the store’s main identity is highly regulated and national (Spanish state monopoly), interior advertising allows space for global consumer culture.
Visual semiotics: The bold yellow/red color scheme is part of the Spanish state’s brand identity for tobacco shops. It contrasts with the more colorful and playful commercial logos inside (lottery, Coca-Cola, etc.).

Carlos V : “Charles V” (Holy Roman Emperor, 16th c.).
Asador Carlos V : “Grillhouse Carlos V” → a restaurant name invoking history.
Latin (symbolic/historical)
Around the medallion: IMP·CAES·CAROLVS V·AVG
Short for Imperator Caesar Carolus Quintus Augustus (Emperor Caesar Charles V Augustus).
Classical Latin used for prestige, evoking imperial power and tradition. The bronze relief portrait of Charles V reinforces the link between heritage and commercial branding. The mix of materials (bronze, stone-like textures) communicates permanence and prestige.
Hybrid function: This sign blends heritage (Latin, historical figure) with commerce (Spanish restaurant name), making history consumable for visitors. It illustrates how the linguistic landscape can commodify history, transforming cultural memory into a marketing tool.

English here is symbolic: it does not simply inform (locals already know it’s a hotel) but brands the establishment as sophisticated and internationally oriented.
“Soho” and “Boutique” both carry connotations of fashion, exclusivity, and urban chic.
The word “boutique” comes from French originally (it literally means shop or store in French).
Here, its meaning is not French language, but rather an international borrowing into English.
In French : boutique = any kind of shop.
In English : boutique = a small, stylish, exclusive store or hotel (specialized, high-end).
In Spanish and many other languages : the word boutique is also borrowed, often used for fashion shops or luxury businesses.
