About
Cotton House Hotel, Autograph Collection
Cotton House Hotel occupies a 19th-century palace built for the cotton merchants' guild, a detail that shapes its identity: high ceilings, marble staircases, and a design that nods to the building's textile heritage. It sits on Gran Via de Les Corts Catalanes, a major avenue that puts you within walking reach of the Gothic Quarter and several of the city's landmarks.
The hotel pairs its historic shell with modern comfort — soundproofed rooms, air conditioning, and flat-screen TVs. Hotel features include a rooftop pool with sun loungers, a fitness centre, a restaurant and bar, plus a long list of services from room service and laundry to car hire and tour assistance. Note that pets are not allowed on the property.

Worth weighing

- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so guests travelling with animals will need to make other arrangements.
- Price reflects a premium — Rooms are priced at the top end, so value for money depends on how much the historic setting and services matter to you.
