A pocket palace facing the medieval port, between Picasso and Vell Marina yachts.
Serras Barcelona
From
638.2 €
“Rooftop with overflow pool overlooking Colomb's statue and the Mediterranean.”
Serras Barcelona has nine rooms on Passeig de Colom, right at the corner of Barri Gòtic and the waterfront. We sleep in compact volumes (18 to 35 m²) dressed in blonde wood, ecru linen, grey terrazzo bathrooms. The rooftop pool measures six metres, the water skims the sky, we see the masts of Port Vell and Christopher Columbus's column at eye level. The Informal by Marc Gascons restaurant (one Michelin star) occupies the ground floor, contemporary Catalan cuisine, produce from the Boqueria. From 638 € a night, it's pricey for the surface, but the view and location justify it. We recommend sea-facing rooms, otherwise you're paying for a corridor overlooking Colom. Discreet little palace, thirty-something clientele, attentive service without protocol ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend Serras to thirty- and forty-something couples who want a design pied-à-terre facing the port, not an old-school palace. It's a hotel for romantic weekends, starred dinners, rooftop aperitifs until midnight. Families will find the rooms too small, the clientele remains adult and cosmopolitan.
The building
Architecture and interiors
Serras occupies a bourgeois 19th-century building renovated in 2015, neoclassical façade on Passeig de Colom. Contemporary interior by Equip Xavier Claramunt: blonde wood, limestone, grey terrazzo, bespoke furniture. Nine rooms spread over four floors, compact volumes (18 to 35 m²), ceiling height 3.20 metres. The rooftop adds 200 m² of terrace with pool, bar and sun loungers facing the port.
