Pros
- Striking historic Modernist building
- Blocks from upscale shopping and several top attractions
- Elegant rooms with flat-screen TVs, surround sound systems, and minibars
- Clean bathrooms with heated towel racks and Loewe toiletries
- Gorgeous (but small) rooftop pool and deck with panoramic views
- Beautiful, historic Café Vienes and a Mediterranean restaurant
- Free Wi-Fi
- Extensive, well-equipped meeting space
Cons
- 25-minute walk to the Gothic Quarter (but easy access to metro)
- Some rooms are a little small
- King-size beds are two beds pushed together
Bottom Line
The 105-room Casa Fuster is an upscale historic boutique near high-end shopping and Modernist architecture. The building itself is one of the most prominent examples of this style, with an elaborate façade and ornate marble interiors. Elegant rooms have pastel-colored walls, oversized headboards, and great amenities such as flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, Loewe toiletries, and surround sound systems. Some even have small in-room saunas, balconies and hydro-massage showers. But quarters can be tight, and king-size beds are really two smaller beds pushed together. Hotel features include a Mediterranean restaurant as well as a beautiful rooftop deck with a small pool and gorgeous panoramic views of Barcelona. Beautiful Café Vienes is a favorite among artists, intellectuals and locals, and its weekly jazz nights have performers such as Woody Allen and the New Orleans Rag Trio.
