"This is Casa Bonay: Hotel / Tapas Bar / Restaurant with Flavours of the World / Cocktails / Rooftop / Bookshop / Coffee Corner / Live Music.

After writing down a list of all the things we stand for - delightful food, making love, sunlight, Mediterranean wine, books, cocktails, good coffee, music, yoga, and dancing - we put them all together and simply applied a valuable yet highly underestimated tool in the making: intuition.

Casa Bonay is the fruition of an idea carried out by a diverse team of collaborators. Among these creators you can find lighting, furniture, interior, fabric, and graphic designers, homemade soap producers, local weavers, international chefs, book editors, and coffee and wine experts. The one thing we had in common was that we admired each other.

Casa Bonay is a 67-room hotel set up in a neoclassical building in the centre of Barcelona dating from 1869. We have restored everything from the floors to the ceilings so you can experience Barcelona as we have.

We like to make love in antique Barcelona houses renovated by interior designers from New York, wake up in sunlit rooms, ride our bikes around the city, walk to the beach, shop at our local market, run in the park, drink delicious natural wines on terraces, sip on cocktails, eat Mediterranean food, read books over a perfect cup of coffee, nap on couches, listen to live music, dance to the best DJs, enjoy barbeques and tapas on sunbathed rooftops, eat our favourite comfort food any time of the day, and practice yoga on our private neighbourhood courtyard terrace."
