Lluís Domènech i Montaner built Casa Fuster in 1908 as a private residence for the wealthy Fuster family, commissioning what would become one of the most expensive buildings of the Modernista era in Barcelona — and arguably his most opulent civic statement on the Passeig de Gràcia. The facade, visible here traced in Christmas lights against the Eixample night, displays the full range of his vocabulary: undulating balconies supported on classical columns, carved stone ornamentation, and a corner turret that commands the intersection where the boulevard meets Carrer de Gràcia. Hotel Casa Fuster, which opened in 2004 after a meticulous restoration, holds 96 rooms across the building's original floors, each carrying forward walnut millwork headboards, upholstered channel-tufted bedheads, and dark-stained hardwood floors that keep the interiors grounded without competing with the architecture's exuberance. The restaurant dining room demonstrates how thoughtfully the conversion was managed — Domènech i Montaner's original vaulted ceilings survive intact, their curved plasterwork now serving as a canopy above linen-draped tables and slender mid-century-influenced timber chairs. Above it all, the Blue View rooftop terrace translates the building's grandeur into something more relaxed: blue mosaic tile cladding, a compact plunge pool, and views stretching south over the Eixample grid toward the Mediterranean. The palette throughout — sage green in the suites, warm terracotta at the walls, deep indigo in the upholstery — quietly echoes the chromatic sensibility of Catalan Modernisme without resorting to pastiche.
