The courtyard, El Pati, centers on a three-meter ceramic sculpture by Catalan artist Frederic Amat, with Romanesque ramparts framing the pool.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Cobblestone lanes wind through the medieval Barri Vell, leading past the cathedral steps and ancient ramparts right outside the door.
The rooms
Rooms in the historic palauet feature vaulted ceilings and sculpted stone vanities, while the modern annex embraces warm terracotta and rattan.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and spa
A jade-green pool rests in the courtyard, and underground stone vaults host treatments with organic oils.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Casa Heras serves regional Catalan dishes beneath vaulted ceilings, and the rooftop terrace pours vermouth over old-town views.
The hotel’s weathered stone façades, hidden cul-de-sacs, porticoes, and stone ramparts combine with a palette of vibrant colours, inspired by the local townhouses
How it began
Originally known as Casa Heras de Puig, the abandoned eighteenth-century palace found new life through a playful contemporary restoration in 2023.
