Most striking feature:

The interior, done by Lázaro Rosa Violán, is beautiful. The designer is well-known in Barcelona (Big Fish, Chez Coco, The Prakik Hotel: all designed by him). His style isn’t minimalistic.

(I’ve only seen the lobby where they played a Dutch song by Blof. A very, very odd experience. Anyway. This location is great.

  2. If you like affordable Read more…
