Cotton House Hotel, Autograph Collection

This hotel is stunning. A mid-1800's home converted to Cotton Guild and now a perfect place to stay in Barcelona. The room was spacious, offering comfort and the breakfast was terrific. Staff warm and professional. Location easy walk or short cab ride to all there is to see in a wonderful city.

My bestie and I were taking a cruise that was porting in Barcelona and we decided to show up a few days early and enjoy this spectacular city. I arrived a day early and took a taxi (which are super safe and metered in Barcelona) to the hotel after a longg day of travel. When I arrived to the hotel, I was so brilliantly greeted by the best Bell/Door man Reyes. He instantly put me at ease with his friendly and joyous nature, taking my bags and walking me into the STUNNING lobby of the Cotton House. I remember LOUDLY gasping and instantly feeling like I was in a Banana Republic ad! Feeling transported to a different world, Reyes got me cold water (he offered champagne...but I was saving my liquid calories for the evening!) and queued me up for check-in. At the front desk, Sol was AWESOME as she explained all the benefits of this magnificent property and shared when my room would be ready. Reyes stored my bags and I wandered the area around the hotel to find excellent shopping and restaurants all within walking distance. The location of the Cotton House was perfect! When I got to my room, I was so pleased by the amenities, balcony, mini-bar, and shower! The room is smaller than most Americans are use to, but that is Europe and was just fine for me and my bestie. We were surprised with how comfortable our two single beds were. We had great nights of sleep...and as a tall guy (6'2") I was happy that the beds were long enough that I didn't have to accordion my body to fit. I explored the rest of the hotel and was sooooooo happy. It truly is gorgeous. The top floor has the gym and pool...which were my only slight letdowns. The gym is verrrrrry small...but still has weights, an elliptical, and an interactive bike. I decided to do a cycling class with the bike and it was fun. But with no air circulation, it got uncomfortable after 40 minutes. There was free cartons of water and it was very clean which was nice. The pool area was awesome being on the rooftop with a phone to call for room service and plenty of lounge chairs to relax in. But the pool was not heated and even though I loved the freezing cold plunge after my biking workout, it was not a place I went back to due to the iceberg water! Burrrrr!! The Concierge team was great with recommendations and reservations for dinner (special shoutout to Luca for her help with some places to get great Paella). Our favorite part of this hotel was the restaurant. It is literally stunning and the breakfast experience (buffet) was OFF THE HOOK. My bestie and I had an early morning tour and we arrived at breakfast and literally were kids in a candy store. It was presented like artwork and the food was TOP-NOTCH. How was this a hotel meal??? When you stay here, you MUST experience the breakfast. We enjoyed some yummy drinks in the evening, as well. Overall, this property is absolutely a must stay in a fantastic city. I 100000% will be back and can't wait to stay a week or long

Five star stay at Cotton House! The hotel is gorgeous, the room was well appointed, comfortable and spacious. And the check-in staff was absolutely on point and everyone we interacted with was incredibly professional and engaged. Reyes took great care of us getting our bags up to our room while we were out touring the city and making sure we were in a taxi early the next morning. We enjoyed dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and the service was fantastic. 10/10 recommend. We highly recommend this hotel!

Beautiful boutique hotel with fabulous decor where attention to details was not spared. The room was bit small and cozy. The most comfy bedding with luxurious sheets which added pluses to my sleep quality. The ottoman suite was fantastic, spacious and stunning! After midnight the lights turned on by themselves and than the chandelier started flickering. Hm...I was wondering if the deceased owner of CH paid me a visit and was picking up my check, lol. I called the front desk and a stuff member came immediately. It took a few minutes, he played with the switch, and the lights went on again while we were standing a few feet away. He decided that it was an electric short. But, I did sleep with the tv and the lights on, hehehe. The stuff was super friendly. Lucia concierge was just darling and extremely helpful, very knowledgeable and assisted me with smile. Mario at the reception was beyond helpful and very courteous. Thank you! I had the most delicious dinner at Batuar. Totally indulged myself and can't express how enjoyable the dinner was. The cerviche was amazing and so was the pork (the best I ever had) Nabil's recommendation, who is the restaurant manager. He was super attentive and it was a pleasure to deal with. Overall the stay was wonderful but the friendly stuff made it even better. I highly recommend CH and specially Batuar restaurant.

The Cotton House is a magnificant hotel. It is a former headquarters of the Barcelona textile industry back in the day and the lobby, bar, lounge and spiral staircase up to the rooms are simply stunning. I had breakfast there every day and it was delicious, with great omlets, pastry and coffee as well as other options. The rooms are a little small but well appointed. All of the staff, from the servers to the front desk, were helpful, courteous and just really pleasant people. I want to commend especially the concierges, several who were trainees but also the more experienced concierge who worked with them. They graciously helped me with the barrage of questions that I had for them, including great suggestions for restaurants, tour guides, and clubs. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Cannot say enough about the hotel and the staff. Top notch in every way. Would not consider it for families with small children, had more of an adult feel to it. Rooms are amazing, loved the balcony. Staff goes above and beyond to accommodate you. Want to go back...

The Cotton House Hotel was a favorite of ours on our recent trip to Spain. My husband and I debated between The Cotton House or Hotel Artes and ultimately decided on The Cotton House , despite the fact that the rooms are more ‘boutique’ in style, or small or European in size. We were traveling originally with 3 of our daughters so we booked 3 rooms - one on Marriott points. Our daughters had The Panama room - two twin beds overlooking the courtyard. These rooms are not big by US standards & are pricey- upwards of $500^ per night for the basic room. Our girls were cozy. We saw Americans in the lobby griping about the size of the rooms & frankly it was embarrassing- do your homework. This place is special & lovely. But it’s a European boutique hotel. We were luckily upgraded to The Vichy Suite - a bi level suite with two floors and a beautiful terrace that looks out to Gran Via to Sagrada Familia in the distance. The Cotton House is located in a great location; it’s safe by US standards and you can walk to La Rambla , ( which we don’t care for but our girls do ), and Gotic Quarter within ten minutes or hire a car in seconds. Barcelona Sants is about twenty minutes away and we came from there after our train arrived from Malaga. The BCN International Airport is about 25 minutes away. Upon arrival we were met with a great cava in Waterford crystal & water while we waited in the white beautiful lobby adorned with cotton and white leather to get our room keys. Alejandro then showed us the hotel and had our luggage delivered to our rooms & offered to make any reservations we needed; bring us more espresso pods for our in room espresso maker; ice buckets; or whatever we needed. The hotel has an in house atelier for an ‘experience’ of tailoring, because why not have a custom made shirt made from this historic property where cotton was once made? Each room is beautiful and the stair case is beautiful with marble. We had twice daily maid service with turndown service and the toiletries are special. We dined on property for dinner; dessert and the breakfast both at the restaurant and in our suite; highly recommend for dinner- make a reservation & ask for D’Mitre.
