Hotel Cotton House Barcelona to Join Marriott’s Autograph Collection

The Hotel Cotton House Barcelona is to join Marriott International’s Autograph Collection when it opens on 23 February 2015.

Located in a prime position on Barcelona's Gran Vía, Hotel Cotton House Barcelona is housed in an iconic 19th century building - formerly the headquarters of the Association of Cotton Manufacturers.

Since its construction in the late 1800s, the 'House of Cotton' has been a significant Barcelona landmark; after an extensive restoration and refurbishment, the building has become a sophisticated hotel embodying the essence of this historic building.

Staying true to the hotel’s historical essence, Lázaro Rosa-Violán was commissioned to design the hotel in a contemporary and sophisticated manner.

With 83 bedrooms including 7 suites, the boutique hotel welcomes guests through a beautiful covered hall of mirrors, leading them into an octagonal hall with two sweeping staircases.

The former public areas of the building, open to all guests, now house an elegant library, a restaurant and cocktail bar, a light-filled conservatory and a 300 m2 terrace with lush vegetation. A striking rooftop pool occupies the sixth floor.

John Licence, brand leader for Autograph Collection in Europe, said, “Barcelona is a hugely popular destination for both leisure and business travellers, and we are really excited to debut such a unique hotel in the heart of Catalonia. The rich heritage of the building is complemented by the exquisite new design, and we have no doubt that travellers will have an incredible experience that Autograph Collection has become known for delivering.”

Room rates at the Hotel Cotton House Barcelona start from €200 per night.
