Praktik Rambla

Top choice in L'Eixample


On a leafy boulevard, this early-19th-century gem of a mansion hides a gorgeous little boutique number designed by beloved local interior designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán. While high ceilings, patterned walls and original tiles have been maintained, the 43 rooms have bold ceramics, spot lighting and contemporary art. The relaxed library and back terrace are perfect for enjoying the complimentary coffee and croissants.

This is Praktik's flagship, but it also runs other equally enticing properties across L'Eixample: Praktik Bakery (with in-house bakery), Praktik Garden (filled with plants), Praktik Vinoteca (wine-inspired) and Praktik Èssens (perfume-themed).
