Occupying a grand 19th-century neoclassical building that once served as the headquarters of the Cotton Textile Foundation, the Cotton House Hotel is a masterpiece of visionary interior design and classic elegance. Meticulously restored by one of Barcelona’s most acclaimed designers, Lázaro Rosa-Violán, the hotel connects guests to a significant chapter in the city’s history in an effortless way. Its location, meanwhile, combines the convenient connections of the well-heeled Eixample district with a refreshingly calm setting.
Stepping through the threshold, an opulent vestibule adorned with mirrored walls sets the tone, and a polished marble staircase transports you to the beating heart of the Cotton House. The elegant library, the heart of the textile industry’s flourishing social club back in the 1950s, now offers guests a traditional English afternoon tea. Further nods to the building’s sartorial origins are evident at L’Atelier, which offers a bespoke tailoring service in the same space as members of the Cotton Producers’ Guild had their measurements taken in times past.
