The Hotel Barcelona Catedral boasts those attributes normally associated with this fascinating city, namely style and design chic. You might not think so as you look at the natural stone style exterior which is actually rather ordinary and business like, but step inside and you enter an oasis of stylish fashion right in the heart of one of Barcelona’s the most noble (and busiest) areas quarters.
The idea behind the Barcelona Catedral was deceptively simple; to blend a cocktail of comfort and modernity whilst maintaining a welcoming, dare we say homely, feel. It’s amazing how many boutique hotels cannot pull this off, but the result here was spot on. Many of the furnishings were made especially for the Barcelona Catedral, not done a la Ikea, so unique grey mirrors, IP wood terraces and Oakwood in noble rooms are the norm.
Bedrooms are decorated in white, silver and natural wood, together with textiles in warm tones and elegant textures. And we can’t forget to mention the king-sized beds with quilted mattress, white goose feather and down duvets with anti-mite fibre.
There are other extra bonuses at the Barcelona Catedral, such as breakfast by the pool and chill out areas with Internet access. It’s great when stylish hotels, which the Barcelona Catedral undoubtedly is, still manage to put the comfort of guests first and not see style just as an end in itself.
