BAGUES HOTEL BOUTIQUE BARCELONA

Located in the heart of Les Rambles, between the Palau de la Virreina palace and the church Església de la Mare de Déu de Betlem, only a stone's throw from the famous La Boquería market.

Hotel Baguès Monument has been selected, from Welcome to Spain DMC & MICE, among the 6 best hotels in Barcelona in the "ORIGINAL STAY 2025" category.

The Bagués Hotel 5* in Barcelona is located in a building that forms part of the city's architectural, historic and artistic heritage. It was built in 1850 by Josep Fontserè i Domènech, a leading architect in Renaissance architecture.

The building was used as the Masriera jewellery-workshop for many years. Lluís Masriera was the forefather of modernism in Spain and one of the most important Art Nouveau jewellers in the world. His jewellery has formed part of exhibitions in the main museums around the world, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid or the MNAC.

The interior design of the hotel was inspired by the style of the architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh, using thinner, simpler lines in Art Nouveau.

The Bagués Hotel has 31 luxury rooms and suites, restaurant, a terrace with a small outdoor pool and solarium, a gym and sauna, a lounge and function rooms, a cocktail bar and the Émile Gallé Museum Hall with Art-Noveau glass crafts.

Bagués Hotel Art Collection

In the Room-Museum of the Hotel Bagués, you can discover a collection of 27 Art Noveau glass vases, works by Émile Gallé and other authors of that time. Gallé (Nancy, 1846-1904) is regarded as one of the leading innovators of the French Art Nouveau movement and known mainly for his work on glass. In addition, he is one of the founders of the École de Nancy.

The collection, which had previously belonged to a Madrid noble family, also counts with works by other contemporary artists to Gallé, some of them trained in his workshops. The ensemble stands out for its rich coloring and for the use of nature-inspired motifs. To do this, Gallé created a botanical garden in his workshop in order to be able to easily and faithfully access the models that inspired him and his disciples.

The technique of acid etching is the protagonist of this exhibition. It is a technique that allows to identify different relief patterns, thus obtaining a subtle mixture of effects between polished glass, matte glass and satin. To make it, the negative decoration is first drawn on the piece of glass, which will be coated with a base of Judea bitumen. The piece is then submerged in a hydrofluoric acid bath. This acid attacks the unprotected parts of the piece making the decoration come to life in different shades.
