Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 20 October 2026 · How we review hotels
This luxury hotel is best for architecture enthusiasts wishing to stay on the chic Passeig de Gràcia. Set in an iconic Modernist building by Domènech i Montaner, it offers a rooftop terrace with panoramic city views. Drawbacks include a relatively small rooftop plunge pool and potential street noise on lower floors.
Guests score it 8.7 out of 10 — the average across the 17 hotels we list in Barcelona is 8.9.
- Designed by famed architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner, this landmark property offers guests the rare opportunity to stay inside a designated World Heritage-style monument featuring grand marble columns and intricate arches.
- Situated at the quieter northern end of Barcelona's most prestigious avenue, the hotel provides immediate access to high-end boutiques and Gaudí masterpieces while remaining close to the bohemian Gràcia neighborhood.
- The rooftop pool is designed for quick cooling off rather than swimming laps. Guests seeking a serious workout can utilize the indoor fitness center or head to nearby beachfront facilities.
- Due to its central location on a major avenue, rooms on the lower floors may experience some traffic hum. Booking a room on a higher floor or facing the courtyard minimizes this issue.
