Wittmore Hotel: An Exclusive Enclave for Exploring Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter in Style
The Wittmore Hotel welcomes guests 18 years and up
Located in the heart of the historic and vibrant Gothic Quarter, Wittmore Hotel is Barcelona's exclusive retreat for the discerning traveler. This intimate, adults-only hotel offers just 22 rooms and embraces an ethos of “Underground Chic.” Every detail is thoughtfully curated to inspire and engage. Dim lighting, Bordeaux-colored velvet curtains, and black-painted walls create the refined atmosphere of a New York speakeasy.
One of the hotel’s best-kept secrets is its vertical garden—the largest in Barcelona. All rooms overlook this unique green space. Room sizes range from 19 to 55 square meters and include king or twin beds, with décor that features a refined selection of wallpaper, books, cushions, and vibrant armchairs. The suite includes a special touch: two hours of private rooftop access available from May to October.
At the in-house Contraban Restaurant, Chef Alain Guiard presents a menu that reflects a creative culinary journey. Like an artist with a blank canvas, the experience takes diners through a range of emotions—from excitement and freedom to surprise and even challenge. Each dish is a masterful creation, pushing the boundaries of culinary art while staying rooted in the essentials. Bold yet sophisticated, Contraban turns every meal into an inspiring moment.
From the Wittmore Hotel, Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter awaits. This historic area is a labyrinth of medieval alleys, hidden squares, and timeless architecture, combined with bohemian spirit and modern creativity. Expect lively cafés, unique boutiques, street performers, and a buzzing nightlife that winds through centuries-old stone passages. Highlights include the iconic Barcelona Cathedral, Plaça Reial with its palm-lined arcades, and the vibrant, ever-evolving energy of the neighborhood.
Enjoy disco and soulful house music curated by resident DJs in the hotel’s inviting living room oasis, every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
