Located at the intersection of Port Vell and the Gothic Quarter, Serras Barcelona is blessed with expansive views of the Mediterranean Sea and sits just minutes from some of Barcelona’s most famous landmarks. With its original façade intact after restoration, the historic building — the address was once home to Picasso’s first artist studio — was transformed into a haven of sophistication to retreat into after exploring the bustling streets of the Catalan capital.
Timeless yet modern, Serras Barcelona was designed by renowned Spanish designer Eva Martinez Torres. With only 28 rooms and suites (the latter featuring luxurious freestanding bathtubs), the hotel caters to travelers who appreciate personalized experiences and flawless service. State-of-the-art technology and tasteful furnishings are only topped by the striking sixth-floor rooftop, where guests can unwind by the pool, sip signature cocktails and take in the view to a backdrop of relaxing music.
