The Barcelona EDITION – Where Schrager Style Meets Catalan Soul
A Gothic Quarter Landmark Reborn in Modern Luxury
Two Legends, One Vision
As Barcelona rises as one of Europe’s cultural capitals, The Barcelona EDITION arrives as a natural icon—melding the vision of Ian Schrager with the Catalan design language of Lázaro Rosa-Violán. Once a modest office building, it has been boldly reimagined by Carlos Ferrater Studio into a geometric glass facade that mirrors the surrounding Gothic textures, forging a striking dialogue between past and present.
Design That Dares and Pays Tribute
Inside, Schrager’s signature brand of understated luxury meets Barcelona’s heritage head-on. The double-height lobby fuses contemporary and classic design in surprising harmony: Eric Schmitt, Christian Liaigre, and nods to Dalí and Gaudí sit side by side, creating a visual language that’s both global and local, dramatic and intimate.
A Culinary Scene with Edge
At Bar Veraz, the energy is palpable. Locals and guests gather for cuisine helmed by Sebastián Mazzola, whose culinary pedigree includes stints at Pakta and Tickets. Expect bold flavors, seasonal Catalan ingredients, and a stylish crowd that lingers long after lunch. For panoramic pleasure, ascend to The Roof, a 10th-floor terrace offering sweeping skyline views, cocktails, and a breezy social vibe that captures the city’s rhythm.
The Punch Room: After Dark, Reimagined
If there’s a heartbeat to the EDITION, it’s found in the Punch Room—a seductive, hidden-away lounge reached via a dramatic marble and wood spiral staircase. Inside, the mood is velvet, leather, and low lighting; the vibe, intimate but electric. The menu revives the classic punch ritual, reworking it with modern ingredients and craft precision. This is where Barcelona’s after-dark elegance lives on.
DNA Hotels Verdict
The Barcelona EDITION is where heritage meets high design, and nightlife doesn’t end—it evolves. For travelers who crave style with depth, design with narrative, and a sense of place without clichés, this sleek, theatrical hotel delivers in every detail.
