If you are looking for a chic, reasonably priced, and comfortable place to stay in Barcelona this is it. This is a gem of a hotel just off of Passeig de Gràcia, one of the main boulevards in the city. You are within walking distance of many restaurants and 2 of Gaudi’s houses are on this street, 5 minutes from the hotel. It is in the middle of 3 very close metro stations. You are 10-15 minutes away by metro or 20 minutes walking to most sites like Sagrada Família or the Picasso Museum. It is very easy to get around from this central location. You hardly know that the hotel is there walking down the quiet side street, but once you open the red door, you find yourself in a modern, garden oasis. The lobby is beautifully done with plants and a wall of books that has truly been transformed into a piece of art. Nothing was overlooked when making this hotel. The open-air patio lounge is full of tropical plants and places to relax in the sun, or have a latte and muffin in the attached indoor lounge that I would love to have in my own house. The rooms are clean and bright with tasteful and modern art and the bathrooms are some of the best designed ones I have stayed in, even at much higher price points. The care they took in choosing the dark slate blue subway tiles on the walls, the black and white tiles on the floor, and the antique looking doors are truly stunning. This is not a cookie cutter hotel. It is a unique, boutique hotel that has an amazing and knowledgeable staff.
