House of Heights

House of Heights: Catalonia

Like many of our guests, we have a soft spot for high ceilings – and this spot in the central Eixample district of Barcelona offers just that. Huge french doors invite free-flowing natural daylight through the main living and bedroom spaces in abundance. Meanwhile, an open plan layout creates a sociable setting to kick back between discovering vibrant Barcelona's cultural sights, artistic architecture, and culinary delights.

Like the city, it resides in, this home is bursting with character. While a coherent design aesthetic persists throughout, minimalist features like the curtains and patterned pillows break the monotony with a pop of colour – a contemporary and, above all, comfortable base from which to soak up the city. Located in Eixample, you'll be minutes away from Passeig de Gracia's many Modernist buildings, designer boutiques, and Michelin-starred restaurants.
