Designed by Domènech i Montaner from 1908 to 1911, this sumptuous Modernista mansion is one of Barcelona’s most luxurious addresses. Rooms are individual and plush (though standards are small), with chocolate-brown or soft-beige decor and marble bathrooms. Period features have been thoughtfully restored and complemented by hydromassage tubs and king-sized beds. The rooftop terrace (with pool and summer bar) offers spectacular views.
The hotel's Café Vienés, once a meeting place for Barcelona's intellectuals, hosts excellent jazz nights on Thursdays from 9pm.
