Hotel MERCER BARCELONA, opened in September 2012, is an innovative 5-star boutique hotel with an exclusive, discreet and timeless interior design and service aimed exclusively at exceeding the highest expectations of guests.
MERCER BARCELONA is part of the MERCER hotel group, whose philosophy is based on the combination of cultural heritage and the unique identity of the buildings within they are located.
LUXURY, ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN
MERCER BARCELONA is located in the heart of the old Gothic district of the city in a group of historic buildings, artistically restored under the guidance of the famous Spanish architect Rafael Moneo.
His work has enabled a valuable piece of architectural heritage to be rescued and then integrated with innovative contemporary architecture, thus gifting the city with a building that looks to the future from a standpoint of respect for its past. Behind the medieval facade, maintained practically unscathed over time and the wood entrance door that welcomes guests and visitors, one of the best-kept secrets of Barcelona is discovered — an oasis of calm hidden in the heart of the city.
Restored historical features can be found in practically all the hotel’s spaces, including bedrooms, patio and the restaurant. Following the urban architecture traditionally conceived around central courtyards, MERCER preserves the original building courtyard and the majestic pillar of the 16th-century. At the same time, the patio incorporates modern elements such as the large glazed window that surrounds it.
“I don’t believe in hotels without a soul that can’t explain their history or that aren’t connected to the city they’re in. Currently, guests are looking for hotels that add value from a gastronomic or artistic point of view — says the founder of the hotel Pedro Molina. — For us, real luxury lies in three keys. First of all, service: from the concierge to all staff trained to be an ally to the guest. The second key is how the space is designed to create sensations. And finally, gastronomy, which makes holidays unique in every way and makes our hotels important meeting places.”
THE BEST FOR EXPERIENCE
MERCER offers versatile facilities and services for an unforgettable stay. The hotel has 28 rooms and suites, designed and equipped in accordance with all modern standards.
Guests can start their day with a sumptuous breakfast in the courtyard of the MERCER Restaurant — a quiet and exclusive location surrounded by the ancient Roman wall of Barcino with lush greenery and overlooking the Patio with orange trees.
Every morning, the friendly MERCER team takes care of even the smallest details of breakfast — freshly squeezed juices, fresh fruits & berries, homemade cakes, freshly brewed coffee, a wide selection of hot and cold À la carte dishes prepared to order, as well as an exquisite buffet of small snacks, both savory and sweet.
And of course the traditional Spanish Cava to give a bubbly boost to the day.
Day and evening, the Mercer Restaurant is an elegant and intimate place to sample Mediterranean cuisine from Chef Xavier Lahuerta or sip cocktails at the bar opposite the restaurant.
It also has a private room for small events and celebrations, set in one of the defense towers of the former Roman wall and featuring the original 12th-century frescoes. A unique setting in Barcelona, packed with history and personality.
ROOFTOP — UNDER THE SKY OF BARCELONA
To enjoy the pleasant Mediterranean climate, it’s worth going up to the hotel’s terrace, where you can sunbathe and swim in the pool, read the newspapers and have a snack in the bar.
Stunning view of the rooftops of the Gothic Quarter, the domes of the Cathedral and the Basilica of Sant Just i Pastor — another way to enjoy the city.
Pedro Molina, MERCER founder: “Location, history, architecture, design, gastronomy… and above all a discreet and intuitive service. We are committed to excellence and our personal vision of contemporary luxury At MERCER. Our secret is that we talk about hospitality. Our guests are expert and well-informed travelers, interested in history, architecture, culture or local cuisine. They appreciate exclusivity and seek genuine and enriching experiences to live the authenticity and uniqueness of each destination. In this sense, our hotels are inspiring spaces for guests. We pay attention to the smallest detail, because we believe that every detail is important. It’s all about making each stay a memorable experience.”
