Authenticity

Located in a six-story contemporary building in swanky Eixample, the H10 Art Gallery lives up to its name, with a lobby that showcases original works by Spanish artists like Joan Miró and Miquel Barceló. Additionally, each floor features a famous contemporary artist, including Antoni Tàpies, Francis Bacon, Henri Matisse, and Andy Warhol. You'll find examples of their works in the corridors and rooms, and color schemes, lighting, furniture, and carpeting also vary from floor to floor. 

Location

You'll be in the heart of the Eixample district, with its famed Modernist architecture, octagonal intersections, and elegant avenues. There are endless options for shops, restaurants, bars, and cafés in the vicinity, and the beautiful Passeig de Gràcia is just three blocks away. You can reach Casa Milà and Casa Batlló on foot in about 10 minutes, and Plaça de Catalunya, La Rambla, and the start of the Gothic Quarter in about 20. You'll also be close to multiple metro stops, so you can easily get around the city. There's private paid parking on-site, as well as EV charging stations.

Rooms & Bathrooms

Each floor of the hotel pays tribute to a different artist, with 90 air-conditioned rooms that combine modern decor with bright pops of colors. The Classic rooms feel a bit small and face the inner atrium, so you might want to upgrade to a Superior for more space and a street view, or a Deluxe for a private terrace. Triple rooms have an extra sofa bed, and the Junior Suite adds a seating area and a whirlpool tub in the bathroom. All rooms include Nespresso machines and complimentary minibars, and bathrooms are modern and sleek, most with rain-style showers and Rituals toiletries.

Amenities

Eateries and shared spaces include the Modern Art Restaurant, which offers an impressive breakfast buffet each morning, plus Bar Pop Art with its L'Olivera Terrace extension. This is a great spot for dinner or drinks in the evening, with romantic lighting and fragrant plants. There's also a rooftop plunge pool and terrace with views, drinks, and snacks. The fully equipped gym is open all hours of the day, and you can rent bicycles to explore the city. 

Family-Friendliness

Children of all ages are welcome. Baby cribs are available upon request, and the restaurant offers kid-friendly food. You'll also find a selection of board and puzzle games you can borrow at reception. Note that rooms tend to accommodate up to three people, so you may need to book multiple rooms if you're a larger family.
