Casa Bonay

Top choice in L'Eixample


A beautifully revamped 1896 building laid with original tiles, Casa Bonay feels like a wonderfully chic friend's home. The minimalist-design rooms have been conceived working with local designers, from handmade throws to Santa & Cole lighting; some have glassed-in balconies, others terraces and outdoor showers. A summer xiringuito graces the rooftop terrace, which also hosts a herb garden and cool-off shower.

Other perks range from free bikes, yoga mats and SUP boards to fashionable Catalan-Asian fusion restaurant King Kong Lady, speciality cafe Satan's Coffee Corner and moody cocktail/DJ bar Libertine.
