Designed by Adolf Ruiz Casamitjana, La Rotonda, which housed the Metropolitan Hotel in the first half of the 20th century, has become a symbol of the Sarrià neighbourhood.

Cultural heritage

This building, crowned by a domed tower, lends great beauty to this street corner. The inside of the pavilion is covered in ceramics, and the whole of this fanciful construction is elaborately decorated with polychrome pieces. La Rotonda was built to house the Hotel Metropolitan, which was open until the 1970s. It was one of the most luxurious establishments in the city, part of the generation of hotels that were centres of culture, described in the “salon chronicles” that told of the meetings, galas and balls held there by the Barcelona elite at the beginning of the 20th century. It is currently being renovated under the watchful eye of its neighbours, who intend to ensure that the building keeps its original appearance. Architect: Adolf Ruiz i Casamitjana (1906)
