Modernisme mansion apartments
Only six apartments share the 1906 mansion, run like private residences with dedicated personal assistants for every stay.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Pere Falqués designed this 1906 Modernisme landmark, filled with sculpted plasterwork ceilings.
Notable
Modern minimalist furnishings contrast with restored stained glass and dramatic floral moldings.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The look is arresting, a bold combination of baroque and modern architecture, resulting in spaces that feel at once theatrical and inviting.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Passeig de Gràcia's luxury shops sit out front, while the leafy village squares of Gràcia begin just behind the property.
The rooms
Each two-bedroom apartment pairs sculpted floral ceilings and stained glass with a full kitchen and chromotherapy bath.
The rooftop spa
A heated hydrotherapy tub and wooden Finnish sauna sit on the rooftop overlooking the Barcelona skyline.
At the table
Private chefs cook multi-course dinners on request, served inside the suites or beneath the salons' frescoed ceilings.
How it began
Commissioned in 1906 for a Catalan textile family, the mansion narrowly escaped demolition before winning heritage protection in 1979.
