Ofelias
Restrained, elegant boutique. Pre-Raphaelite design inspiration, sensual and artsy without being loud about it. Appeals equally to design-conscious leisure travellers and stylish business guests.
Book direct on the hotel website for the best rate — they advertise up to 15% off OTA prices plus free cancellation up to 24 hours before arrival.
Why It Matters
Listed in both the Michelin Guide hotel selection and Tablet Hotels. One of the rare boutique properties in Eixample with a rooftop terrace pool. Entirely designed by Lázaro Rosa-Violán, one of Spain's most sought-after interior designers.
A 44-room design boutique hotel in Barcelona's Eixample district, inspired by Pre-Raphaelite art and the aesthetic of Ophelia from Hamlet. The interiors are the work of celebrated Spanish designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán — think supple leather sofas, warm wood tones, and mirror-filled common areas that feel more like a stylish apartment than a hotel. There's no in-house restaurant beyond breakfast, but the location just off Plaça Espanya puts you steps from Las Arenas shopping centre and a few metro stops from the old city.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Buganvillia Superior Terrace
These are the rooms to request if you want outdoor space. Each comes with a private terrace featuring teak flooring, designer outdoor furniture, and a chill-out area surrounded by a Mediterranean garden. In spring the bougainvillea and orange blossom make these genuinely special. Beds are 180x190cm in Egyptian cotton.
King (180cm x 190cm) or Twin (2x 190cm x 90cm)
Gardinia DUI Comfort
Very similar to the Rosemary category — exterior and bright, overlooking either Llançà Street or an Eixample courtyard. The DUI designation suggests flexible bedding configuration (double or twin). Good base-category option. Same core amenities as the Rosemary.

The top category. Spacious rooms that combine the bedroom and living area in a single open environment. Quiet-facing rooms with views of the classic Eixample interior courtyards. The hydromassage bathtub and free first-load minibar are the standout perks. Egyptian cotton linen on 180x190cm beds.
King (180cm x 190cm)Rosemary Double Comfort
Exterior, bright rooms that face either the relatively quiet Llançà Street or a charming Eixample interior courtyard. Standard category with all the essentials — rainfall shower, minibar, iPod player, Egyptian cotton on 180x190cm beds. Rooms are on the smaller side at around 18 sqm.
