Casa Bonay
A design-forward boutique hotel in a restored neoclassical building on the edge of the Eixample, with a strong food-and-drink scene.
The call
Worth it if you only have one day and you are traveling as a couple.
Why
- 01
Hydraulic-tiled floors, plants everywhere, the Satan's Coffee Corner café and the Libertine cocktail bar buzzing on the ground floor, and the Chiringuito de Bonay rooftop pulling in locals as much as guests.
Our read - 02
A great fit for design-minded couples, solo creatives and friends; the lively venues mean it's not the quietest choice.

What you're near — and what you're not
- Passeig de Gràcia (short walk)
- Gothic Quarter / El Born (walkable)
- Plaça Catalunya & transit
- The beach (metro or taxi)
- A quiet, secluded retreat — it's social by design
What you're paying for
Rooms range from compact entry categories to roomier options, some with terraces, all design-led. Rates are reasonable for the style and central spot; the catch is that smaller rooms are genuinely small and the lively public spaces aren't for guests seeking hush.
