Welcome to El Palauet Living Barcelona, a specialty hotel offering a blend of modern comforts and traditional details in the heart of Barcelona. While the hotel offers a range of amenities from babysitting to make-up artists, I’m hooked on the interiors. They’re glamorously eclectic, pairing contemporary furniture with century-old architecture. Well, yes, we’ll admit we’re jealous, but it’s the room interiors that leave us breathless. An intoxicating mixture of carefully curated 20th and 21st Century furnishings—Art Deco, Mid Century Modern, contemporary—seem to have been chosen to precisely complement the exquisite architectural opulence of the 1906 building. Displaying an imaginative mixture of styles and scale, texture and pattern—and a discerning, exacting eye for color—El Palauet Living Barcelona manages to remake old-fashioned decadence into thoroughly modern grandeur.
