About
Casa Balmes
Casa Balmes is a 4-star bed & breakfast set in a restored 19th-century building on Carrer de Balmes, just off the Passeig de Gràcia. The location puts you within a 5-minute walk of the shopping boulevard and Casa Batlló, and about 20 minutes' walk from the Basilica of the Sagrada Família. The hotel is small – a handful of rooms across two floors – and run with a personal touch.
The rooms are contemporary and practical: parquet floors, soundproofed windows, flat-screen TVs, mini-bars, and rainfall showers. Air conditioning and heating are standard. Breakfast is served each morning with a spread that includes continental options, pastries, and fresh fruit – a frequent highlight in guest reviews. The hotel also offers luggage storage, tours/ticket assistance, and vending machines for snacks.
