Casa Sagnier is a boutique hotel in a central Barcelona location. Situated on the leafy Rambla de Catalunya, it is a mere hop and a skip away from Passeig de Gràcia - Barcelona's shopping haven and Plaça de Catalunya - the central point for many tourist activities in the city. The hotel's exterior is classic - an old and ornate building, in keeping with its affluent surroundings. A surprisingly minimalist thick black door gives an initial clue as to the hotel's interior.

The hotel lobby area comprises a lusciously thick maroon carpet leading to a slick black front desk. A door to the left leads to the hotel's restaurant, and a door to the right leads to its bar - these add an appropriate level of bustle to the serene lobby area. Marbled grey floors, a transparent vase filled with floating rose petals and a spiral staircase with an ornate wrought iron bannister all serve to add a touch of romance to the modernist surroundings.

Despite the hotel's luxurious furnishings and superior four-star rating, customers will need to make the journey to a sister hotel for amenities such as a pool, gym and spa. This may be an inconvenience. However, the sister hotel is Hotel Majestic - one of Barcelona's most renowned five star hotels, so it may well be worth the extra effort.
