The house
PulitzerModernist Eixample mansion
Behind a stained-glass modernist marquee, this 1917 townhouse trades the roar of Plaça de Catalunya for an unhurried Catalan rhythm.
“The historic Art Deco property has stood serenely in this spot since 1917, and now boasts just shy of 100 quietly contemporary rooms.”

few are as historic — or as refined — as the Hotel Regina. The original hotel dates back to 1917, and many of its details remain intact
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Plaça de Catalunya sits steps away, and the market stalls of La Boqueria are a short stroll down the Ramblas.
The rooms
Bedrooms have high ceilings and custom oak millwork, while corner rooms open through French doors onto small balconies.
Bar
Gina's Salón
The lobby bar pours vermouth and cocktails under warm globe lights, with seating tucked behind etched-glass partitions.
At the table
Breakfast is served beside a leafy courtyard patio, and Bar La Esquina prepares Catalan market dishes over charcoal.
How it began

During the Spanish Civil War, the 1917 property was converted into an improvised hospital before reopening to travelers.
