WITTMORE HOTEL sits within the Gothic Quarter's labyrinthine streets, Barcelona's historic medieval neighborhood. Museums, galleries, and cultural landmarks are scattered throughout the quarter. Beyond these immediate surroundings, green parks and the beach are accessible from the hotel's location.
The hotel offers 22 rooms across seven floors. Room types include Small Rooms and Medium Rooms (sleeping two on a King bed), Large Rooms, Junior Suites, Club Suites, Wittmore Suites, and the Sobreatico. Each room features designer details, including Marshall speakers and bold wallpaper prints that reflect the hotel's playful yet elegant character.
CONTRABAN, the hotel's restaurant, operates both downstairs and on the rooftop. The restaurant sources exclusively from local Catalan suppliers, featuring regional cheeses from nearby dairy farms and a regional wine list. Artisan chocolates from local confectioners are placed in rooms at turn-down. A fireplace in the bar adds to the ambiance.
The private rooftop is a defining feature, with a sun deck and bar overlooking the Gothic Quarter. A pool is available on the rooftop. The hotel's interior courtyard, draped with foliage, opens into the rooms. Rooftop and vertical gardens are maintained with drip irrigation systems.
WITTMORE HOTEL operates with environmental commitments. The hotel uses LED lighting, sources 100% of its electricity from renewable suppliers, and has removed single-use plastic. It partners with Gravity Wave, a social enterprise that collects plastic from the Mediterranean and recycles it into valuable products. The parent company, Anima Hotels, supports reforestation of surrounding countryside.
The hotel features rotating exhibitions by Barcelona-based artists in public areas, changing every two months. The library is curated monthly by an LGBTQ+ book specialist. Poetry recitals and literary festivals are hosted regularly. Catalan traditions are celebrated, including Diada de Sant Jordi, when books and roses are placed in every room. The hotel contributes to local community projects and restoration work, including the organ at Sant Felip Neri, a historic Barcelona church.
WITTMORE HOTEL is designed as an adults-only retreat, suited for couples and solo travelers seeking a refined, culturally engaged atmosphere. The literary programming, rotating exhibitions, and Gothic Quarter location appeal to guests interested in art, history, and Barcelona's local traditions.
