Pulitzer Barcelona: An Urban Escape with a Unique Sense of Place
91 Rooms and Suites | 1 Lunch Restaurant | 1 Bar | Rooftop
Located just steps from Plaça de Catalunya in the vibrant center of the city, Pulitzer Barcelona offers modern accommodations with a focus on sustainability. The hotel brings together thoughtful design and a responsible approach to hospitality.
Rooms range from 20 to 45 square meters, featuring clean, contemporary lines and earthy tones, cheerfully contrasted by turquoise bathrooms. Floor-to-ceiling windows welcome light into each room. Some rooms open to private balconies or terraces, ideal for enjoying the city atmosphere, while others come with private solariums for a quiet retreat.
The Greenhouse restaurant serves a menu of seasonal vegetables, organic wines, and locally sourced ingredients. Open daily for lunch, it sits under a canopy of greenery. The hotel takes a measured approach to food waste, carefully portioning and freezing prepared dishes to maintain freshness. Dehydrated fruit from the kitchen is used creatively as cocktail garnishes.
Pulitzer’s “Buenas Tardes Pulitzer” program offers live music on the rooftop terrace from May to October, featuring local and emerging artists. Guests can enjoy signature cocktails and light summer dishes like homemade guacamole or the rooftop burger with sweet potato fries.
Sustainability is central to the hotel’s operations, with a current carbon footprint of just 10.58 kg of CO2 per guest per night. As part of an ongoing decarbonization plan, energy-efficient systems are gradually replacing older installations, and solar thermal panels provide hot water. Enhanced window insulation further helps to reduce energy consumption while keeping the city noise outside for a restful sleep.
The hotel also works with nonprofit organizations such as Banc D’aliments to combat hunger and supports sustainable tourism initiatives through partnerships with the CETT Foundation.
Before you leave to explore the city, visit the hotel’s stylish lobby, fitted with elegant furniture and contemporary art. With its large window front, cozy seating and all-day menu, it is a wonderfully versatile space for remote working, eating, relaxing or for a drink in the evening.

It is bordering the Barrio Gotic, the old city center with its small streets and El Born a district full of art.
