Alma Barcelona GL

Alma Barcelona GL is a serene five-star retreat nestled in the heart of Eixample, just steps from Passeig de Gràcia and landmark Modernist masterpieces such as Casa Milà and Casa Batlló. Set within a beautifully restored early 20th-century building, it marries timeless elegance with innovative design, featuring a light-filled atrium that channels zen-like calm. The 72 spacious rooms and suites are thoughtfully appointed with fingerprint-access entry, plush Mattresses made exclusively for Alma Hotels, Nespresso coffee machines, smart TVs with streaming capabilities, luxury Aesop or Malin+Goetz amenities, and roomy marble bathrooms. Many offer garden or city views and yachts of high-end sophistication with free minibar and premium linens. Guests can start the day with a fresh breakfast in the lush garden, unwind in the indoor pool that echoes a Japanese onsen, and pamper themselves in the spa—complete with sauna, Turkish bath, steam room, and personalized treatments. A fully equipped fitness center offers private training, yoga, and Pilates for those seeking balance on the go. The inviting lounge bar and rooftop terrace terrace with views over the Eixample provide ideal spots for cocktails or local bites in an intimate, design-forward atmosphere. Alma Barcelona GL is the perfect urban sanctuary for travelers seeking quiet sophistication, wellness amenities, and a prime location for exploring Barcelona’s cultural treasures.
