Overview
A 19th-century building on the pedestrian street connecting Plaça de Catalunya with the Gothic Quarter, with a calm inner courtyard, an outdoor pool, and leafy terraces behind the historic facade — a real find in an area where pools are otherwise rare. Rooms blend traditional elements with updated decor, and some categories include private terraces.
Most hotels this central quietly skip the pool, so a real one in a courtyard here felt like a genuine find. It is the combination I am always looking for: you step out into the Gothic Quarter, and you come back to the thing the kids will ask for by name.
Family features
- Outdoor pool in a quiet inner courtyard — unusual for a hotel this central in the Gothic Quarter
- Some room categories include private terraces overlooking the courtyard
- Short walk from Catalunya and Urquinaona metro stations
- Breakfast buffet and 24-hour reception, useful with young kids on different schedules
- 3-minute walk from Plaça de Catalunya, 5–7 minutes from the Gothic Quarter
What we love
A real courtyard pool this close to the Gothic Quarter is genuinely rare — most hotels this central skip it entirely.
