Cotton House Hotel, Autograph Collection ★★★★★

Perfectly placed in the heart of Barcelona’s Eixample district, the five-star Cotton House Hotel simply exudes elegance and grandeur. Set in an iconic 19th-century building, the former headquarters of the Association of Cotton House Manufacturers, its rich history is closely tied to that of the city. Upon arrival, the beautifully decorated interiors, from the mirror-covered vestibule to the enchanting library, grand marble staircase, or designer 1950’s spiral staircase, will leave you awestruck. And, as part of the Autograph Collection group, this unique independent hotel offers nothing short of excellent service and hospitality.

The elegantly decorated rooms and suites are spacious and pristine. They are also well-equipped with all the modern amenities you would expect, including being soundproofed to provide you with a perfectly tranquil retreat from the bustling city outside. In the morning, enjoy either a full continental or buffet breakfast at the hotel’s restaurant, before basking in the sun and taking in the views from the hotel's rooftop pool. The hotel’s bar and restaurant are set in the hotel’s spectacular glass conservatory and boast a large outdoor terrace which is full of lush greenery.

Barcelona city centre is truly at your doorstep at this hotel, and any attractions that you can’t reach on foot can be easily and quickly reached by bus or metro. Alternatively, the hotel has bicycles available to rent – a highly recommendable way to navigate the city. However you choose to spend your time in Barcelona though, the Cotton House Hotel is the perfect place to stay to both start and end your getaway on the best note.
