The rebirth of an icon

Check availability

Hotel España has 82 rooms. The rooms are contemporary in style, bright and cosy. Below, you can see the transformation that we will carry out, recovering the essence of the modernist interior design of the architect Lluís Domènech. We have recovered the intense burgundy red, the rich velvet fabrics and the Art Nouveau in furniture with organic shapes.

Get to know its history

Inaugurated in 1859 as the Fonda España, the hotel was completely renovated in the early 20th century by the master of Modernisme Lluís Domènech i Montaner, with the collaboration of the sculptor Eusebi Arnau and the painter Ramón Casas.
Today, we continue to write that history with 82 rooms and emblematic spaces such as the Arnau Room, presided over by a spectacular alabaster fireplace sculpted by Eusebi Arnau, and the Sirens Room (frescoes by Ramon Casas), both symbols of our modernist legacy.

Gastronomy with Identity

Our restaurant, Fonda España, is a tribute to the traditional fondas, masterfully reinterpreted by chef Martín Berasategui. His proposal combines traditional cuisine with innovation and contemporary sensibility. At the helm of the kitchen, chef Edu Rodas leads a team committed to flavour, technique and respect for local produce.

We look forward to sharing with you this new chapter with history, soul and future.

Fonda España

Martín Berasategui, 12 Michelin stars, recovers the old concept of the "fondas" (inns), focusing on the most traditional cuisine of the land with a modern twist.
