Barcelona is one of Europe’s capitals of cool and the Primero Primera Hotel lives true to the city’s ideals of design. What you get here are thirty spacious rooms all done up to contemporary boutique perfection in the “Tres Torres” residential quarter near downtown. We’d go so far as saying it is a true undiscovered gem, with its recent renovation still not having registered with the discerning public at large. That will change, no doubt, with the passing of time.

The thing is, Primero Primera is infused with exclusivity, yet retains the air of tranquility – a home from home, as it were, with great service and an eye for detail and singular little touches. These include the stunning spiral staircase, carvings and even old world leather chairs - modernity doesn’t necessarily have to preclude some touches of yesteryear. There is even a splendid garden that further enhances the Zen like atmosphere of the place.
