Cotton House w/ Style
September 15, 2018Now the first signs of Autumn are visible, I long for the days when Desiree and visited Barcelona and Madrid this Summer. During this city trip, we photographed and enjoyed several hotels for our Travel w/ Style section. Among which the Cotton House Hotel in Barcelona, located on the former site of the ‘Cotton Textile Foundation’ A 19th- century building centrally situated only a few steps away from shops and restaurants.
We were welcomed by the lovely team and were really impressed by the beautiful entrance of the building, a vestibule covered in mirrors. The building is really elegant with several great rooms and lounges where the bar and restaurant are located, a luminous glass conservatory and a 300 sqm terrace filled with beautiful greens. Impressive stairways lead to the old library and the so-called L’Atelier which was the office to which guild-members withdrew so that their tailors and shirt-makers could take their measurements.
The Cotton House recovers the essence of this tradition by offering its guests an artisanal tailor service provided by the professionals of Santa Eulalia, the most prestigious tailor establishment in Barcelona. A tailor from that firm will come to the Atelier to take guests measurements, advise and select unique fabrics of the highest quality to make the desired garments.
The decoration of the 83 rooms, including five spacious suites, is inspired on cotton through a chromatic combination of the white, black and sepia of the cotton plant and everything it evokes: softness, comfort, delicacy
It was really warm when we were in Barcelona and it was great to start the day with breakfast in the beautiful garden. What we loved most about our stay though was the early morning swim in the exterior pool located on the sixth floor and seeing the city wake up before breakfast.
