The Cotton House BARCELONA, SPAIN
The Cotton House Hotel stands imposingly on the site of the former headquarters of the Cotton Textile Foundation, an impressive 19th-century building in the neoclassical style, a landmark in the heart of the city’s Eixample district. The five-star hotel is perfect for curious travellers who wish to discover the true essence of Barcelona. Built on the orders of a family of the Catalan
bourgeoisie when the textile industry was at its height, the building was sold in the middle of the 20th century to the Cotton Producers Guild. The guild subsequently established its headquarters there with the aim of housing the highest possible number of cotton-producing bodies and services: the idea was to create a genuine Cotton House. Finally, at the initiative of a group of
hotel promoters from the Barcelona are, the building underwent an intense and thorough refurbishment process, which culminated in January 2015 with the opening of the beautiful Cotton House Hotel. The refurbishment project
took great care to maintain and recover all the original elements of the building. Acclaimed interior designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán — who has worked on buildings as far afield as Turkey and Mexico — was commissioned to oversee the project and did an outstanding job of reflecting a contemporary and sophisticated style, which at the same time functions smoothly to assure guests receive the luxurious level of service and comfort that they deserve. The original elements of the building have
been conserved, such as the imposing marble staircase, delicate parquet and boiserie embellishing ceilings, floors and walls in some of the rooms. Also, the famous spiral staircase built in 1957, the main feature of which is that it’s not supported on the floor below but is suspended from the metal frame of the upper floor, to give a light and airy aspect. At the same time, all the facilities of the building have been completely replaced, resulting in a distinguished setting full of history, yet modern and comfortable at the same time.
