Located on Girona street, Retrome is very easy to identify thanks to the huge sign that marks its location. The hotel is divided into two buildings, at the 81 and 85 of Girona street, you’ll find the reception in the lounge of number 81. Retrome is located in the Eixample and it’s a hotel unlike any other!

The Retrome: half-modernist apartments, half-charming hotel

Once you open the door you will have the impression of entering a modernist Barcelona apartment.

The Retrome is however a “boutique hotel,” an American concept opposed to the impersonal nature of luxury hotel chains.  A boutique hotel means urban charm, style and detail. The aim of the team in this sort of hotel is to attend to the smallest needs of their guests during their stay in a warm and stylish atmosphere.

Modernist charm and “vintage” style: a successful marriage

At the Barcelona Retrome the effect is striking. A positive energy characteristic of the modernist era is evident throughout this old building with its high ornate ceilings and visible beams. The artisanal mosaic of the floor and the hand-painted tiles on the entrance walls have been preserved and restored to the most wonderful effect.

However the Retrome’s real prowess lies in its carrying off a 50s, 60s and 70s, vintage style in this modernist building without overloading the the decor.

Friendly spaces and personal touches

The Barcelona Retrome has warm and spacious common areas with little retro armchairs, green couches, a fireplace and a little library corner. A small kitchen fitted with an old-style espresso machine and a red refrigerator, backs onto a dining room with a long wooden table decorated with fresh flowers.

Retrome rooms

Each of the 7 rooms are decorated differently. The artisanal tiles, the vintage lamps, chocolates placed on the bedside tables, prettily decorated bathrooms, and terraces or balconies all create a refined and welcoming atmosphere.
