The house
AnimaSultry Gothic bolthole
Tucked down a Gothic Quarter alleyway, red velvet armchairs, dark timber paneling, and a roaring fire evoke an intimate private salon.
“Once you step through the doors, the plush, red velvet interiors, dim lighting, and adults-only policy immediately make you feel like you’re a member of a secret, private club.”
What it’s good at
Notable
Dark wood paneling, red velvet armchairs, and a fifteen-meter courtyard vertical garden.
What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The hotel leans all the way into the neighborhood's dark, romantic vibes, especially on the ground level with its rich wood paneling…
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Hidden in a medieval cul-de-sac within the Gothic Quarter, the front door sits steps from Plaça Reial and Barcelona Cathedral.
The rooms
Botanical wallpaper and vintage rotary switches frame quiet interiors, where floor-to-ceiling windows look onto a towering fifteen-meter vertical garden.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Striped loungers and fringed parasols surround the terracotta-tiled plunge pool, looking out across the Gothic Quarter rooftops.
Restaurant
Contraban
Chef Alain Guiard prepares creative Catalan tapas in an intimate dining room set against floor-to-ceiling bookshelves.
At the table
Drinks are served beside a roaring fireplace at the bar or outside on the patio beneath the towering living wall.
