In more detail

Getting to and from the Cotton House Hotel could hardly be easier; you’ll find several metro stations including Passeig de Gràcia, Urquinaona, Tetuan and Girona close by, making this an ideal base for exploring Barcelona. Several major landmarks are also within easy walking distance, such as Plaça de Catalunya, Casa Batlló and the Arc de Triomf.

Throughout the communal spaces, the hotel retains many of its original features, including an impressive spiral staircase, parquet floors and intricate, boiserie-embellished ceilings, creating a classy, vintage aesthetic. The rooms, meanwhile, deliver comfort, space and style in abundance, featuring soft, light colour tones, Egyptian cotton bed linen, premium Ortigia bathroom products and Nespresso coffee machines.

At the Batuar restaurant, named after the machine that was responsible for pressing cotton to eliminate all its impurities, you’ll find an enticing menu with a focus on Mediterranean flavours and local, seasonal ingredients. Breakfast is served with delicious buffet and à la carte options, so whether you’re looking for something light and quick or something more substantial and leisurely before heading out to explore, there’s bound to be plenty that takes your fancy. The bar, meanwhile, offers an extensive selection of tipples to suit every taste, which can be enjoyed on the outdoor, plant-filled terrace.

After a day of sightseeing, enjoy a refreshing dip in the outdoor rooftop pool, relax on the patio or find yourself a comfortable sofa or armchair in the library, perhaps accompanied by an afternoon tea. There’s also a gym and a beauty cabin where wellness treatments can be arranged on request.
