Background

About Serras Barcelona

Serras runs out of an 1846 building on Passeig de Colom, down on the Gothic Quarter waterfront, on the site of Picasso's first studio. It's tiny by hotel standards, just 28 rooms, and it's stayed independent. It carries one Michelin Key and sits across a few of the discerning travel collections at once: Mr & Mrs Smith, Virtuoso, and Preferred. On the food side there's Agreste Mar in-house, plus Informal, which holds a Repsol Recomendado. Up top there's a rooftop pool, and there's a signature bar too. Tripadvisor named it a Travelers' Choice Best of the Best hotel in 2026.

Dining

Restaurants in the hotel

Serras runs two restaurants: Agreste Mar, serving Italian-Catalan plates, and Informal, chef Marc Gascons's tapas-led Mediterranean kitchen, which carries a Repsol Recomendado. The hotel's own site adds Le Nine, a bar lounge, plus a rooftop dining venue with sea and city views and a dedicated breakfast service. Between the two restaurants, the bar and the rooftop, there's a full spread of options without leaving the hotel.

Location

Where Serras Barcelona is

Serras Barcelona occupies an 1846 building on Passeig de Colom, facing Marina Port Vell in the Gothic Quarter, on the site of Picasso's first studio, per the hotel's own site. From there it's an easy stretch to El Born, La Rambla and Barcelona Cathedral, all named on the hotel's own site as nearby. It's a small, waterfront base for guests who want the old town's history with harbor views rather than a room facing the narrow Gòtic streets.
