The hotel keeps much of the guild’s 19th-century architecture. Room names follow fabrics (Damasco, Otomán, Vichy, Madras), and there is still a tailor on site who will make you a shirt. It is part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection. The rooftop pool is small but has good city views, and Batuar, the restaurant, does Mediterranean market cooking. The location on Gran Via suits people who want the Eixample’s shops and Gaudí buildings close, with the old city a 15-minute walk.
