Hotel Casa Fuster G.L Monumento, Barcelona

Passeig de Gràcia, 132, 08008 Barcelona, Spain (show on map)

Located at the prestigious crowning edge of Passeig de Gràcia, Hotel Casa Fuster G.L Monumento is a masterclass in Catalan Modernisme. Constructed between 1908 and 1911, the building was the grand finale project in Barcelona for renowned architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. He designed it with a striking combination of curves, neo-Gothic windows, and a cylindrical corner turret.

The building actually began as an extravagant romantic gesture. Wealthy industrialist Mariano Fuster commissioned the home as a gift for his wife, Consuelo Fabra i Puig. If you look closely at the rear façade on Carrer de Jesús, you can still spot her initials, “CF,” carved into a decorative relief.

Because Fuster spared no expense, using high-quality white marble for the façade—a historic first for the city—it was crowned the most expensive residence in Barcelona at the time. Its fortunes shifted over the decades; it narrowly escaped a 1960s demolition plan intended to replace it with a skyscraper before finally being transformed into a luxury hotel in 2004.

Today, the ground-floor Café Vienés preserves its legendary history as a hub for intellectuals. The space turns into a vibrant jazz club on Thursday nights, famously attracting Woody Allen, who often steps in to play the saxophone when visiting the city.

Expert reviews

Frommers review:

“This stunning Modernista building was designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner for the Fuster family in 1908, and it was reported at the time to be the most expensive home constructed in the city. Modernisme’s heyday lives again in this deluxe hotel .”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Barcelona.

Fodors review:

“This hotel offers one of two chances (the other is the Hotel España) to stay in an art nouveau building designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner, architect of the sumptuous Palau de la Música Catalana.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Barcelona.

Forbes review:

“Lauded Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí’s Casa Milà overshadows the buildings along Passeig de Gràcia, but just several blocks away is Hotel Casa Fuster, a piece from one of his modernist contemporaries.”

Telegraph review:

“Though it has only been around for a few years, Casa Fuster is something of a grand dame among Barcelona hotels, thanks to its historic building and splendid décor. There are dining options for different pockets (all of them deep), and a rooftop sundeck with unbeatable view.”

A really great Hotel.

Location is great, and the Hotel is a lovely historic building. The overall experience is that of old school, discrete charm, yet with a very modern twist. I cannot comment on Breakfast as we didn't eat at the Hotel for that meal, but did have one dinner there which was really delicious. We had one problem at the hotel, but that was dealt with very quickly and professionally, and to our entire satisfaction. In summary a very classy, relaxing experience..........thank you so much to all the Staff.

Possibly breakfast could be cheaper.

A beautiful gem of a find

There is nothing we didn't like!! The hotel is beautiful, the location is great, staff were exceptional and food was delicious. Our room was gorgeous and the hotel really do go out of their way to make the Valentine Package extra special. It was amazing value for money and our only regret was not staying longer. We highly recommend a stay here and will definitely be back.

There really wasn't anything, if I had to be picky it was the swimming pool is quite small but as it is winter we weren't bothered as no plans to use it.

Overall alright but not for a hotel of this calibre.

On arrival it was amazing. Staff were really friendly and accommodating. We were able to check in early. The staff were accommodating when my partner felt ill after eating over salted scrambled eggs by extending our check out time.

No openable window which without fresh air upset our sleep. The bathroom, generally not maintained well for this standard of hotel. You have to climb over the edge of the bath to take a shower which was difficult as I have a very unstable knee joint. The breakfast buffet was amazing. Sadly when ordering scrambled eggs they were very over salted and caused my partner to be unwell.

Lovely location and historic hotel

Reception staff on our arrival were a little abrupt. Our room was spacious but furniture was looking tired. There was a huge/ugly TV which took up a huge amount of space in our sitting area of the room which was out of keeping with the decor/period of the hotel

A top notch experience at iconic Casa Fuster hotel: everything was thoughtfully done.

This was an iconic modernism hotel in an elegant neighborhood. It was luxurious without being overly pricey. The staff cleaned the room beautifully every day. The support staff was always courteous and helpful. The location was within walking distance of three of the iconic Gaudi houses. The Gracia neighborhood was upscale with many great restaurants within walking distance.

The only nit, and it is a small one, is that the bathtubs were a little difficult to get in and out of. Anyone who is short or has mobility issues would not be able to take a bath easily.

The AC was set globally and without any option of fine tune it locally in our room. It was hot
