What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The boutique hotel is located inside a striking 19th-century palace retaining many of its original details, from high moulded ceilings…intricate mosaic floors.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The front entrance opens onto leafy Rambla de Catalunya, with Passeig de Gràcia just one block away.
The rooms
Bedrooms stay compact and spare in white, letting original hydraulic mosaic floors and sculpted ceilings take center stage.
At the table
Freshly baked croissants and coffee are set out each morning to carry onto the courtyard terrace.
How it began
The 1902 residence housed a neighborhood cultural center and an elder care home before its 2009 conversion into a hotel.
