Room Mate Carla

Interior designer Tomás Alía is one of Spain’s foremost creative talents and the man behind the interiors of Room Mate Carla, a boutique design hotel in the central Eixample neighbourhood. Just a few minutes from some of the city’s most famous sights, including Antonio Gaudí’s La Sagrada Família, Plaça de Catalunya and La Rambla, the colourful hotel makes the perfect urban retreat. The rooms and suites feature bold murals that climb the walls and spread across the ceiling to form a backdrop to the sleek, minimalist furnishings, while the communal spaces are a celebration of colour, including the honesty bar, which features bright blue walls and furnishings and a mirrored ceiling.
