Cotton House Hotel is among Barcelona's most characterful luxury properties, occupying a magnificent 19th-century building with soaring ceilings, a grand marble staircase, and a library bar that feels straight out of a period drama. It's now an Autograph Collection hotel managed by Marriott.
- Rooms: Just 83 rooms and suites tastefully furnished with bespoke fabrics and artwork referencing the building's textile heritage; bathrooms feature deep soaking tubs.
- Dining: The Batuar restaurant delivers seasonal Mediterranean cuisine in a beautiful courtyard setting; the Cotton Club cocktail bar is one of Eixample's finest.
- Rooftop: A gleaming pool terrace with sundeck and bar offers sweeping Eixample rooftop views.
- Nearby: Passeig de Gràcia (3-min walk), Casa Batlló (5-min walk), Plaça de Catalunya (8-min walk).
Families who appreciate refined elegance over chain-hotel anonymity, as well as discerning couples, will find Cotton House a genuinely special choice. The library bar alone is worth a visit even if you're not staying.
