Hotel Claris
Barcelona, Spain
Hotel Claris
Within steps of the bustling Passeig de Gràcia in Barcelona
A short walk from Gaudi’s La Pedrera and Casa Batlló is Hotel Claris, a chic and contemporary boutique hotel set behind an imposing early 20th-century façade with avant garde design, a fascinating collection of sculptures and paintings and deeply comfortable rooms.
Hotel Claris is a celebration of all things artistic. From the hotel lobby with its striking marble statues and African mosaics to the individually decorated rooms and suites with original pieces of Roman, Egyptian and Hindu art. The tapas bar décor is inspired by Andy Warhol and the indoor Japanese water garden, with waterfalls and a ceramic sculpture, is a tranquil spot.
The hotel even has its own museum of Egyptian artefacts and paintings which is well worth visiting. Be sure to see the nearby Gaudi buildings, Casa Batlló and La Pedrera before heading for the famous Sagrada Familia and a spot of shopping in the Passeig de Gràcia boutiques. Return for cocktails on Hotel Claris’ rooftop terrace next to the pool.
