What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
Its carefully preserved facade offers little hint of the striking Art Deco-influenced spaces within — again, in true Barcelona style.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Tucked on a quiet street off Plaça de Catalunya, the location sits within walking distance of Passeig de Gràcia and the Gothic Quarter.
The rooms
Light-filled rooms feature honeyed wood floors and custom headboards, paired with bold aqua-tiled bathrooms and private balconies in select layouts.
The gym
The light-filled fitness room arranges cardio machines and free weights around a decorative fireplace and white wood paneling.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
The Greenhouse
Hanging ferns and tropical palms fill this sunlit courtyard, where the kitchen serves Catalan market cooking with zero-kilometer produce.
At the table
The marble-topped lobby bar pours drinks by the garden patio, and Petit Nomad serves specialty espresso out front.
How it began

Behind the preserved 1920s facade, the reception desk was crafted from ornate gilded wood panels salvaged from a Sicilian church.
