Barcelona
Art-forward urban minimalism. Striking exterior art installation meets pared-back, design-led rooms. Sophisticated but not stuffy — the rooftop brings an energy that keeps things from feeling too buttoned-up.

Why It Matters
One of very few boutique hotels in Barcelona with a Michelin-starred restaurant on-site (Caelis, 1 star, held continuously since 2005). The Frederic Amat façade is a genuine piece of public art. And the glass-walled rooftop pool overlooking the Gothic Quarter has become something of an icon.
A 74-room five-star boutique hotel in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, housed in a heritage-listed neoclassical building whose façade is plastered with over a thousand ceramic 'eyes' created by artist Frederic Amat. Inside, the aesthetic flips completely — clean minimalist interiors with a black-and-white palette, wooden floors, and glass-walled bathrooms. The real showpiece is the glass-walled rooftop pool with panoramic views over the Cathedral and city skyline, paired with a one-Michelin-star restaurant, Caelis, led by French chef Romain Fornell.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Classic Room
Compact and calm — these 25 m² rooms overlook the landscaped inner courtyard, so they're quieter than street-facing options. The design language is consistent throughout: white walls and linens against black bathroom tones, wooden floors, large windows. Good for those who just want a well-executed base.
25 sqmDesign Deluxe Room
Same concept as the Design Room — central glass shower, bold open-plan layout — but with an extra 1–4 m² of breathing room, running from 27 to 30 m². Glass can be frosted on request. Good option if the Design Room feels too tight.
28 sqmDesign Room
The centrepiece here is a spectacular panoramic rain-effect shower with full glass walls, positioned at the centre of the room and visible from every angle. It's either exciting or alarming, depending on how you feel about glass bathrooms — but the hotel will frost the glass at no extra cost if you want the privacy back. Street or courtyard views.
26 sqmJunior Suite
At 42 m², the space opens up considerably. Dark bathroom tones bleed into the bright white bedroom in one connected flow. Includes a special bath setup — ideal for a romantic trip. Suites and above come with a bottle of red wine and chocolates when booked direct.
42 sqmSuite Dome
The hotel's headline room and genuinely special. An 80 m² duplex penthouse sitting beneath the building's heritage neoclassical dome, with 10-metre ceiling heights. Ground floor has a living room with dining table for six, 65-inch TV, and access to a private terrace overlooking the neoclassical and modernist façades of Via Laietana. Upstairs: king bed, private dressing room, bathtub, and glass-walled shower. Can be connected to an adjoining room to create a larger Penthouse configuration — useful for families.
