The Barcelona EDITION Stairway to heaven (or Punch Room). One piece stairway made of steel and marble which was placed there even before the construction of the hotel because it couldn't be taken apart. It is a true piece of art and design.

Highs & Lows

  • This hotel has a VIBE and is vibrating with life. It makes you feel cozy and at home, and at the same time has an eccentric and sexy side! Truly a perfect balance of edgy and snug.

  • Impeccable design. Wood and marble flood your eyes wherever you look. The bathrooms are spacious and comfortable; they make you want to hang out there all day!

  • Fantastic art all over the hotel and photography at Bar Veraz capturing artists, dancers, actors, bull fighters, musicians by Spanish photographers (mostly women) like Joana Biarnes (born 1935), Colita (born 1940), Xavier Miserachs (born 1937), and Chema Madoz (born 1958 and one of Spain’s most important photographers working today).

  • Three restaurants with plenty of healthy and vegan options, a unique bar experience at Punch Bar and a dreamy inter-dimensional show at Cabaret for dinner.

  • BEST service. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They were always cheerful and available for all questions and tips for the neighborhood. They truly make you feel at home.

  • Can’t open room windows. Not a big deal as you can take the elevator up to the rooftop for plenty of fresh air.
