Modernist architect townhouse
The architect's former residence runs like an intimate private home, linking a lively street-level cafe to a quiet, guest-only roof terrace.
“Casa Sagnier, the former home and studio of prolific architect Enric Sagnier, greets guests in a sophisticated setting.”

What they say
Michelin Selected

Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
The elegant stone façade, with wrought-iron balconies, makes a striking first impression, its oversized picture windows offering a view into the hotel’s busy street-level café and eatery.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Rambla de Catalunya's tree-lined promenade sits out front, with the restaurant-packed Passatge de la Concepció right around the corner.
The rooms
Pale herringbone parquet lines the bedrooms, and top-floor rooms open onto sunny terraces with private outdoor showers.
The spa
Massages and body treatments are booked in the dedicated treatment room, set beside a sauna preheated on request.
Restaurant
Cafe de l'Arquitecte
Chef Jorge Aranda prepares seasonal Mediterranean dishes, and tall windows fold open to the pedestrian passage outside.
The Gothic-inspired building with its wrought-iron balconies and decorative sculptures was known as ‘Casa Dolors Vidal de Sagnier’, in honor of Enric Sagnier’s wife.
How it began
The 1892 building originally bore the name of the architect's wife, and its dining room occupies his former private library.
