stay

Located between the two main avenues in the city, Diagonal and Sarrià, easy to reach from the airport and the trade fair grounds and located in a lovely English-style stone building, this unique hotel is perfectly situated where business and pleasure converge.

Its red brick façade houses a hotel where the most unique feature is its splendid rooms all in split-levels or junior suites, with two clearly distinguishable spaces. In this way, our guests can host visitors, hold meetings or work in their rooms, while always having a private space for resting and enjoying the views of our secluded garden, as well as admiring the collection of lithographs by Picasso, Dalí, Tàpies, Cuixart, Gordillo, Antonio Clavé, Subirats and Chillida, which is displayed throughout the hotel.
