PB hotel design editorial

That facade is the first thing that stops you on Carrer de la Diputació — a gridded curtain wall of bronze-toned deep-set mirror panels stacked in a rhythm that feels more Frankfurt financial district than Eixample residential, a deliberate provocation in a neighbourhood where Modernisme still sets the aesthetic terms. Almanac Barcelona, which opened in 2017 within a purpose-built nine-storey structure, was designed with interiors by the Vienna-based studio Aichinger & Seirafi, who pushed a palette of dark marble, smoked onyx, and brass detailing through every layer of the 91-room property. The restaurant on the ground and mezzanine floors captures the approach most clearly: curved banquettes in slate-blue velvet pull around black marble tables, while acid-yellow upholstered chairs in the glazed inner dining room introduce a jolt of chromatic tension against the brooding stone walls and gold inlay details. Guest rooms carry the same tonal logic upward — headboards clad in antiqued metal leaf panels, arched windows with floor-length sheers, abstract rugs in charcoal and midnight blue grounding furniture with clean modernist profiles. The rooftop pool deck shifts register entirely, its travertine surround and balustrade detailing borrowing from Barcelona's older building stock, palm trees and teak sun platforms arranged against a cityscape that stretches toward the hills of Tibidabo. The tension between that severe exterior and the warmth accumulating inside is what gives the hotel its particular character.

"We really enjoyed our stay at Almanac Barcelona. We stayed in one of the Art Suites on the 7th floor. Pros: Wonderful location in Eixample close to everything. Rooms are modern and in great shape with marbled bathrooms. Very clean. Service Level is 5 stars. Anas at the front desk was so kind and friendly. Samir the bellman was incredibly friendly and helpful. Concierge desk, especially Mario and Sebastian were super helpful and helped us book flamenco tickets for a same-day show. Breakfast buffet at Virens restaurant was great. We also had dinner at Virens one night and did the vegetarian tasting menu which was delicious. Azimuth the rooftop bar was nice. Cons: Pool was not heated. Also, for such a nice hotel, the on-site gym is inadequate and some equipment was out of order. Of note, they allow you to use an off-site facility which is more comprehensive, but we did not have time to go there."

"The almanac Barcelona offered a lovely welcoming experience when we walked in the door. We were greeted by friendly staff, quickly checked into our room, and promptly guided to our room. However, when we got to the room it was a little of a let down. I should clarify that this is still a very nice and perfectly clean property, but it did not live up to modern 5 star standards. You could tell that this hotel was really nice and technically advanced at one point in time, but when we stayed you could tell it had been through its paces. The low wall scones in the entry area were all drooping from years of being bumped, the controls for lights/clinate/shades all on a touchscreen were clunky and didn’t always work right, etc. Also, if you happen to be on a lower floor you get to do some wonderful people watching from your windows, but they can also watch you! In order to have privacy in the evening, you have to close the shades. Also the streets are extremely bright. Other than that, the Virens restaurant on the first floor is amazing and there is an excellent breakfast there every morning that is definitely worth it."

"Our stay at the Almanac Barcelona was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were treated like family. Every member of the staff showed us the utmost respect and made sure our experience was truly memorable. We want to give a special shout-out to the gentleman who greeted us with champagne and brought our bags to our room. He was incredibly kind, personable, and immediately made us feel welcome. Unfortunately, we didn’t catch his name, but his hospitality set the tone for the entire stay. The concierge team was also fantastic. They helped arrange tickets for several of the sights we wanted to visit and provided recommendations that were absolutely perfect for what we were looking for while exploring the city. Their guidance made navigating Barcelona effortless and enjoyable. The location of the hotel couldn’t have been better for everything we wanted to do. Being so centrally located made it easy to experience the best of the city. We also loved spending time at the Azimuth Rooftop Bar. The views were breathtaking, and watching the sunset from that vantage point was unforgettable. The drinks were excellent and it quickly became one of our favorite spots during our stay. The highlight of our trip, however, was dining at Virens Restaurant. The food and wine were absolutely incredible, and the entire experience felt like a dream. Our waiter made the evening even more special with his attentiveness and warmth. We wish we could remember his name because he truly was the icing on the cake. Everyone at the hotel made us feel genuinely welcomed, and it’s rare to find a place that delivers such consistent hospitality at every level. We cannot imagine staying anywhere else when we return to Barcelona. Thank you to the entire team at Almanac Barcelona for making our visit so unforgettable."

"This hotel is a solid choice for those prioritizing quality dining and central access. The Michelin-starred restaurant on the first floor is a standout, serving high-quality Spanish cuisine for both breakfast and dinner—which was a highlight for my children. The rooms are spacious and clean, contributing to a comfortable stay. We found the location to be both prime and safe, as we were within walking distance of Casa Batlló, El Corte Inglés, the beach, and numerous highly rated restaurants. The service throughout the property is professional; the entire staff, including the manager, Juan, is very attentive and helpful."
