Barcelona’s standing as a distinguished haven of unparalleled architectural marvels, artistic treasures, and exquisite design is undeniable. Amidst its Gothic and neo-classical splendors, enchanting gardens, and captivating museums, the city has recently witnessed the emergence of a new wave of upscale properties and innovative hospitality concepts, sparking widespread interest among the elite. Preserving the charm of Barcelona’s illustrious past while embracing contemporary luxury, Casa Bonay emerges as an epitome of refined elegance—a 67-room sanctuary nestled within a meticulously restored 19th-century mansion in the prestigious Dreta de l’Eixample district.
Originally commissioned in 1869 by Francisco Batlle, Casa Bonay served as the esteemed residence of the illustrious Bonay family for generations. With its rich heritage intertwined with the legacy of Gaudí through the marriage of Antonia Bonay to Carles Maní, Casa Bonay epitomizes timeless sophistication. Imbued with opulence and grandeur, the mansion underwent an extensive restoration under the meticulous craftsmanship of Brooklyn-based firm Studio Tack, harmoniously blending natural elements such as stucco, clay, and marble, thereby paying homage to Barcelona’s rich cultural heritage.
At the heart of Casa Bonay lies a commitment to emotional design—a philosophy espoused by its visionary founder, Inés Miro-Sans. A native of Barcelona with a keen business acumen and a penchant for creativity, Miro-Sans, alongside her esteemed business partner Luis Rullán, embarked on a journey to breathe new life into the historic edifice. Enthralled by its original features, including the sun-drenched entrance, ornate tiled floors, and majestic neo-classical staircase adorned with vibrant stained glass windows, Miro-Sans meticulously curated every detail, infusing the property with a sense of timeless allure.
From the meticulously crafted reception area by Marc Morro of AOO (Altrescoses Oltrascosa) to the exquisite lighting fixtures by Santa & Cole illuminating the opulent suites and public spaces, Casa Bonay epitomizes luxury at its finest. Asilvestrada tends to the lush flora adorning the premises, while Las Lilas provides artisanal toiletries crafted from locally sourced ingredients, ensuring a truly indulgent experience for discerning guests.
Casa Bonay boasts an array of culinary experiences that tantalize even the most discerning palates. Bodega Bonay, our in-house restaurant, is a culinary haven where quality local produce meets biodynamic and sustainable methods, resulting in high-quality pan-Mediterranean sharing plates. Head Chef Giacomo Hassan’s creations, like sea-urchin royale and glazed eel with coleslaw, embody passion and imagination, while the extensive wine list features over 250 references, highlighting innovative organic practices.
Stepping into Casa Bonay is a transcendent experience—an ode to Catalan craftsmanship and artistry. Nestled in the heart of Dreta de l’Eixample, the hotel welcomes discerning guests with a majestic marble-clad corridor, exuding an air of sophistication and refinement. Once a humble horse stable, this corridor now serves as a testament to Casa Bonay’s commitment to promoting local artisans.
Libertine, our ground-floor cocktail bar and lounge, exudes inter-continental charm, offering signature cocktails crafted by drinks advisor Eric Stephenson and a menu inspired by Barcelona’s cosmopolitan history. Chiringuito, our rooftop beach bar, transports guests to a tropical paradise with Japanese Robatiyaki cooking fused with Mediterranean flavors.
And at TosTao, one of Barcelona’s first specialty coffee shops, indulge in biodynamic coffee roasted by local artisans Nomad, paired with delectable bread and cakes baked in-house by our talented Japanese patissier Natsumi. Experience culinary excellence at Casa Bonay, where every bite tells a story of passion and authenticity.
As guests ascend to the hotel’s rooftop, they are greeted by panoramic vistas of Gran Via de Les Corts Catalanes and manicured private gardens—a serene oasis in the heart of the bustling city. With plans for cocktail lounges, yoga sessions, and a tranquil tea garden, Casa Bonay offers an unparalleled retreat for the elite traveler.
