The new boutique hotel of Barcelona

This summer has opened its doors, in the center of Barcelona, the Antiga Casa Buenavista Hotel. A boutique hotel built by Monlleví family on the same building where their grandparents opened the popular Buenavista food house on 1918. It is a catalogued and protected modernist building of the early 20th century, which has undergone a complete transformation by the office TdB Architecture.

Located at number 48 of Ronda Sant Antoni, between the emblematic neighbothoods of Ciutat Vella and Eixample, the new hotel has a careful interior design proposal made by Juan Trias de Bes and Jordi Flores. The interior design and decoration of the restaurant bears the signature of Concepción Padilla.


A tribute to good design

The Antiga Casa Buenavista Hotel, furnished by MINIM, is synonymus of Catalan architecture, contemporary design, Barcelona and family hotel. Its 43 rooms, reception, galleries and the different halls located in the attic are a clear example of this.

Spaces that combine tradition and modernity, where it has been clearly bet on contemporary design of quality, with a selection of furniture and decorative lighting firms that are a benchmark worldwide and stand out for their formal and aesthetic quality.

Catalan brands like Santa & Cole, Mobles 114, Tunds, BD Barcelona or Nanimarquina, and the internationals Cassina, House of Finn Juhl, Vitra, Thonet, e15, Knoll, Living Divani or Agape, are present in the different rooms of the hotel with signed pieces by big names in design.

Among the selected pieces we discover masters of Catalan design as José Antonio Coderch, Miguel Milá, Oscar Tusquets, André Ricard or Nani Marquina, next to great international figures as Finn Juhl, Mies Van Der Rohe, Charlotte Perriand, Achille Castiglioni or Michael Thonet.

With a balanced and harmonious combination of contemporary design icons, the proposal manages to create sophisticated and welcoming sspaces designed to make guests feel "at home".
