Catalonia Eixample 1864

This unique four-star hotel is set inside one of Eixample’s oldest buildings – the stunning Venetian-style paintings on the façade give it a Speciality Monument status. Located in Barcelona’s sprawling Eixample district, this 19th-century building is just around the corner from the famous Passeig de Gràcia Boulevard, where you’ll find the incredible Gaudí buildings and plenty of shops, bars, and restaurants around the iconic square, Plaça de Catalunya.

For a building with more than 150 years of history, the interior of this hotel is now chic and modern, with rooms and suites featuring sleek, contemporary décor and a minimalist design. Expect free Wi-Fi, a flatscreen TV, air-conditioning, a spacious work desk, a minibar, and a marble-clad bathroom. If you’re pushing the boat out, the Deluxe Room with a private pool is for you. Slide into the plunge pool and enjoy a large decking area to bask in the glorious sunshine.
