HOTEL SUMMARY
Where contemporary design meets early 20th-century architecture, Almanac Barcelona commands Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes as the city's most sophisticated boutique hotel, transforming the traditional almanac concept into a living compendium of Barcelona's cultural essence.
Opening in February 2018 as the flagship property of Almanac Hotels, this luxury hotel represents the vision of realty group WSF, who partnered with Barcelona's Office of Architecture to seamlessly fuse two distinct buildings into one cohesive masterpiece. Renowned local designer Jaime Beriestain crafted interiors that capture Barcelona's soul through a spectacular vertical atrium anchoring 91 meticulously appointed rooms and suites. The design philosophy centers on personalized sensory hospitality, with each floor featuring distinct chromatic ranges and materials that create individual identities while maintaining the property's sophisticated cohesion.
The hotel's 91 accommodations, including 30 exclusive suites, showcase Beriestain's mastery through bright spaces adorned with oak and walnut panels, broad bay windows converted from original Juliet balconies, and spacious white marble bathrooms accented with copper fixtures and signature low-hanging white drum lamps. Premium suites offer expansive city views, creating residential-style sanctuaries of discreet refinement. Each room combines modern amenities with elegant design details, ensuring guests experience the comfort of home elevated to luxury hotel standards.
Culinary excellence defines the Almanac Barcelona experience through Línea, the hotel's signature restaurant featuring deep blue and brass interiors beneath soaring ceilings. Chef Sergio Ruiz champions Catalan culinary traditions with an all-day menu emphasizing expertly grilled seafood and accommodating dietary preferences including gluten-free options. The crown jewel remains the rooftop bar and lounge, offering panoramic vistas of La Sagrada Familia and Mount Tibidabo while providing Barcelona's most stylish setting for evening cocktails and socializing.
The hotel's prime location steps from Passeig de Gràcia positions guests at the heart of Barcelona's cultural and shopping district, surrounded by Modernist architecture, world-class museums, and the city's finest restaurants.
