Modernista lines and a convent atmosphere

Hotel Peninsular occupies a unique building in the Raval neighbourhood: with a gorgeous internal courtyard, an unsual layout and a style that unites the Modernista joy with an air of contemplation, the establishment offers authentic lodgings without all the paraphernalia. Inside, you cannot help but notice the austere decoration, with its sober architectural lines, modest furnishings and chequerboard floor.

A testament to hard times

It was during the Universal Exposition of 1888 that this establishment saw the explosion in the hotel business.From its time as a friary it has preserved some unusual remains, such as the underground tunnel that links the friars rooms with the Church of Sant Agustí and that the monks used in turbulent periods. The bedrooms have retained the simplicity of the former religious chambers, with low ceilings, wooden beams, tile floors and simple furniture.
