WITTMORE HOTEL

Gothic glam from top to bottom in this soulful adults-only Barcelona bolthole

A modern hideaway nestled amid the labyrinthine alleys of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, WITTMORE HOTEL invites you to experience a different side of this iconic city. Centered around a foliage-draped courtyard that peeks into the rooms, WITTMORE’s considered interiors marry vintage cool with contemporary calm.

A stay here can be about rest or revelry. Take it all in up at the private rooftop. Or turn the lights down and put your feet up in the refined bedrooms, where designer details such as Marshall speakers and bold wallpaper prints capture the playful yet elegant spirit of the hotel. And at night, soak up the sociable and stylish vibe from the sun deck before retreating to the exclusive ambiance of the downstairs CONTRABAN restaurant. There’s even a fire in the bar here, for extra snug-ness.

When inside WITTMORE HOTEL you’ll fly under the radar. But outside, Barcelona’s buzz surrounds you. Ditch the map and lose yourself in the enigmatic Gothic Quarter that the hotel calls home. Or museum-hop your way around the city – with art, history, and culture in every direction. You’re not far away from the beach either, as well as green parks and gardens.

Environmentally Conscious

WITTMORE HOTEL worked with Pack2Earth, a Catalan start-up, to develop vacuum-seal food bags which can be home composted. And in collaboration with GreenMe Consulting, it has integrated a sustainability plan into its operations. The hotel uses LED lighting, and its 100% renewable electricity supply is backed by Guarantees of Origin (GOs). WITTMORE also takes part in the WWF initiative, Earth Hour – switching off non-essential lighting for one hour every year. Outside, the hotel created a small green space with plants that attract pollinators, including butterflies, bees and birds, while the rooftop and vertical gardens are watered by a drip irrigation system. And swathes of surrounding countryside have been reforested by WITTMORE’s parent company, Anima Hotels.

Cultural Custodians

Set in the heart of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, WITTMORE HOTEL maintains a close connection with the city’s creative and cultural scene through ongoing collaborations with local artists and projects. Among these is Art Nou, an initiative supporting emerging artistic talent, which gives young artists a platform to showcase their work within the hotel. The WITTMORE library also reflects this creative spirit, with a thoughtfully selected collection of art books supplied in collaboration with Terranova, a local bookstore specialising in limited editions. Local customs remain an important part of the guest experience, when special Catalan days, such as the Diada de Sant Jordi, are celebrated with a traditional book and rose in every room.

Community Minded

Working with a carefully chosen network of local suppliers, artisans and independent, creative partners, Barcelona’s vibrant nature is reflected in every detail of the guest experience at WITTMORE HOTEL. At CONTRABAN, this connection comes to life through locally sourced produce, including cheeses from nearby dairies, alongside a specially curated selection of Catalan wines. Beyond the restaurant, get a taste of the local character with delicious coffee from the Barcelona-based company, INCAPTO. During the turndown service, you’ll be treated to handcrafted chocolate rocas made locally by Fundació Sant Tomàs – a thoughtful finishing touch left on your pillow that’s rooted in the community. Through these close collaborations, WITTMORE offers an authentic sense of place and a genuine connection to the region throughout your stay.

Iria welcomed us and all the staff were helpful and friendly. we enjoyed a great meal at Contraban and also cocktails in the bar. the gothic quarter is atmospheric and the hotel is hidden away, quiet and private but close to all the sights

Lovely boutique hotel!

Our room was sparkling clean and well appointed. The best part is the location of the hotel and having a very quiet room. We never felt the hustle bustle of Barcelona even though we were so close to everything! The staff is friendly and helpful.

A whole vibe

We loved the deep, moody decor and vibe of this hotel. It is beautiful! We got the tiny room which was definitely tiny but again, very nicely decorated. The breakfast stood out - the waiter was so, so friendly and the food was delicious. Location is great.

The menu is complimented by an ever-changing selection of wines and cocktails.
