PB hotel design editorial

A nineteenth-century Eixample mansion on Carrer de Mallorca, its cream stucco facade articulated with wrought-iron balconettes and classical pediments that Ildefons Cerdà's grid was designed to accommodate, provides Alma Barcelona with a structural identity that no amount of contemporary intervention could manufacture from scratch. The building's six storeys carry the measured authority of Barcelona's bourgeois expansion era, and the hotel — which holds 72 rooms across the original structure and a more restrained modern wing visible to the left of the facade — works carefully to honour that inheritance without becoming a period piece. Inside, the tension between the building's nineteenth-century bones and a thoroughly contemporary design sensibility resolves itself through material discipline rather than contrast. Herringbone oak floors ground the rooms, paired with slate-toned upholstered headboards, copper-inlaid joinery panels, and layered kilim rugs whose worn pigments warm the otherwise cool palette. The double-height lobby lounge, its upper mezzanine framed in dark-stained timber and draped with large-format hanging artwork, carries the atmosphere of a private members' club in a former private house — velvet sofas in dusty blue, low tables, curtained restaurant beyond. The rear garden terrace, screened by mature eucalyptus and boxwood, shifts the register entirely: white linen, magenta blooms, dappled afternoon light — a hidden courtyard that earns its keep as one of the more genuinely civilised dining spaces in the neighbourhood.

"Casa Alma is a beautiful hotel, especially if you appreciate a more understated and refined aesthetic. The ambiance is elegant and serene, creating a calm and comfortable atmosphere throughout the property. One of its strongest highlights is the service. The staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming, making you feel genuinely cared for during your stay. The rooms are very comfortable, with well-sized bathrooms that add to the overall sense of ease and relaxation. The location is outstanding, perfectly situated for exploring Barcelona on foot, which made our experience even more enjoyable. There are just a couple of small details that could be improved. One is the shower design: it only has a partial glass panel, which makes it easy for water to spill onto the bathroom floor. A full glass door or even a curtain would make a noticeable difference in comfort. The other area that fell slightly short for us was breakfast. While the service remained excellent, it tended to be a bit slow at times, and the overall offering was quite simple. The à la carte portions were rather small, and the buffet, though nicely presented, was limited and not particularly memorable. Unfortunately, we didn’t get the chance to enjoy the terrace due to the weather, though we were told it’s a lovely spot to have breakfast outdoors. Overall, Casa Alma is a charming and comfortable hotel with impeccable service and a fantastic location—definitely worth considering for a stay in Barcelona."

"My experience at Hotel Alma was outstanding in every way. Firstly the staff could not be more friendly and helpful, everyone we encountered went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed, all were very professional and attentive. The hotel itself was stunning and our room had everything we could think of ever needing, the bed was very comfortable, toothbrush and toothpaste provided, lovely dressing gown and slippers and lovely quality hair and washing products. We had dinner at the restaurant one evening, the food and service were outstanding with excellent wine pairing. A particular highlight for me was the breakfast, such quality, clean food and fantastic choice, I was very happy. Everything was also spotlessly clean and the location was perfect to explore Barcelona easily. The atmosphere in the hotel was very relaxing and peaceful. It is a high end hotel and the price reflects that, for us this was a special occasion and worth every penny but not the place to come on a budget."

"A beautiful hotel with great ambience. The architectural overtones exist throughout the property -which extend to the guest rooms. The Alma Restaurant was outstanding for both breakfast and dinner, while the spa and gym were equally appealing. Great location."
