Building & History

Housed in a colonial stone building with a clock tower that originally served as the Banco Hispano Colonial headquarters, the hotel features high ceilings, antique furnishings, Chesterfield sofas in the lobby, and maintains its historical character while offering modern amenities.

“This hotel's location in the Gothic Quarter places it at the center of Barcelona's historical and cultural heart. Formerly a bank headquarters, the building has stylish colonial architecture that offers a unique experience. I especially note the personalized service, comfortable rooms, and a cocktail bar, which I think makes it an appealing choice.”
