BYPILLOWModernist facade, color-blocked hotel
An ornate nineteenth-century facade opens into graphic, monochrome interiors that bring high-contrast energy to a central city stay.
What it’s good at
Notable
Cierto Estudio reshaped the interiors with saturated monochromatic color blocking and circular arches.
Listed
An ornamental nineteenth-century modernist facade conceals thoroughly renovated contemporary guest rooms.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Plaça de Catalunya sits at the end of the block, and the narrow alleys of the Gothic Quarter begin just beyond.
The rooms
Rooms are washed in single saturated tones, fitted with acoustic linoleum floors and seamless built-in furniture.
At the table
A bright yellow dining room serves continental breakfast around a central marble buffet table lit by an oversized red lampshade.
How it began
The 1890 building retains its protected modernist facade, whose entrance arch inspired the circular geometry echoing through the renovated spaces.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
