Step off the elevator on any of nine floors and the first thing that registers is how new everything feels: a 2024 renovation by GCA Architects rebuilt Hotel Arconte, Adults Only around a geometric, metallic facade and a central courtyard, and the result reads less like a refreshed Eixample address and more like one of the district's newest-feeling stays. The 63-room hotel sits on Carrer de Corcega, close to Passeig de Gracia and roughly an eight-minute walk from Gaudi's Casa Mila, in one of Barcelona's most walkable and design-forward neighbourhoods. Adults-only by name and by policy, it has already built a strong early reputation and is exceptionally well reviewed on Traveloka, with cleanliness and room comfort standing out as particular strengths.
What matters about that 2024 redesign is how thorough it was. This wasn't a cosmetic refresh layered onto an older listing — new mechanical systems, soundproofing and a rooftop pool deck went in alongside the boutique's original footprint, so the rooms and shared spaces guests see today are only a couple of years old. Combined with the adults-only positioning, that recency is what separates Hotel Arconte from the family-oriented apartment stays clustered around it.
A 20 square metre private terrace attached to a room that's only about 21 square metres indoors is the detail that stands out most in the Privilege category — outdoor space nearly matching the footprint of the room itself. Traveloka's listing doesn't itemise every in-room fitting by category, so anyone chasing a specific feature, a hydromassage bathtub for instance, should confirm the exact spec for their chosen room type directly rather than assuming it's shared across all four.
Indoors, the Privilege stays compact at roughly 21 square metres, but step onto its private terrace and that figure nearly doubles — 20 square metres of outdoor space, the largest of any category at the property.
Around 35 square metres makes the Junior Suite the largest room by interior footprint, and Traveloka's listing flags that some configurations sleep up to four adults. An extra-large Treca bed sits alongside a separated seating and living area, plus its own private terrace, so it's the natural pick for a small group rather than a couple.
The Superior shares its roughly 25 square metre footprint with the Deluxe one tier down, but the addition of a private balcony or terrace is what earns it the step up in category.
No balcony, no terrace — just about 25 square metres of straightforward, value-focused room, making the Deluxe the entry point into the property's four categories.
King-size (or, in the Junior Suite, extra-large) Treca beds, smart TVs and scene-control lighting run through all four categories as the common thread; only the outdoor space and bathroom fittings shift between them.
Nine-to-nine, seven days a week, is when the fitness centre's spinning bikes, dumbbell bench and multifunctional training bench are available — a fixed window worth checking against your own schedule before relying on it. The rooftop, by contrast, keeps no such hours in practice: an outdoor swimming pool, sun loungers, a solarium and a bar occupy the terrace level together, all overlooking Eixample's characteristic street grid.
On the dining side, breakfast is available on-site alongside a snack bar for lighter options outside main meal times, though guests wanting precise dietary or timing details should check the current arrangement directly with the property or Traveloka's booking page, since meal service can change. One policy worth flagging early for anyone travelling with a pet: this adults-only, boutique property does not permit them.
Passeig de Gracia, the city's premier shopping boulevard, is a short walk from the hotel's Carrer de Corcega address, and Casa Mila (La Pedrera) — one of Antoni Gaudi's best-known works — is about eight minutes on foot. Anything beyond that walkable core, including the Gothic Quarter and Barcelona's old town, is still easily reached but calls for the metro or a short ride rather than a stroll. Eixample itself was laid out in the 19th-century grid designed by Ildefons Cerda, which is part of why the neighbourhood reads as central and architecturally distinctive rather than merely convenient.
For international visitors, Barcelona-El Prat Airport is the main gateway; travellers can compare arrival options and book flights to Barcelona with Traveloka before working out onward transport into the city centre by train, metro or taxi. From Eixample's metro stations, the rest of the city — the beachfront, Sagrada Familia — is a short ride away. Drivers should note one wrinkle: the hotel's on-site parking falls under Barcelona's Low Emission Zone scheme, so anyone with a non-Spanish number plate should check pre-registration requirements before arrival.
Guests who'd rather not leave the property have the rooftop bar area next to the pool, plus breakfast and snack service on-site. Step outside, though, and Eixample turns into one of Barcelona's strongest restaurant neighbourhoods — tapas bars, contemporary Catalan restaurants and cafes are all walkable, no taxi required. For a more structured food itinerary, things to do and activities in Barcelona on Traveloka include food tours and guided walks through the surrounding streets.
Any specific restaurant recommendation is best treated as a starting point rather than a guarantee, since Barcelona's dining scene shifts quickly. When in doubt, the hotel's own front desk is usually the most reliable source for current opening hours and reservations nearby.
Few boutique-scale properties in Eixample pair a genuinely recent renovation with both a rooftop pool and a gym, and Hotel Arconte, Adults Only does exactly that — plus the calmer, adults-only atmosphere that suits couples and travellers without children. That its excellent Traveloka reviews lean heavily on cleanliness and room comfort suggests the 2024 refurbishment has held up as an ongoing standard rather than fading as a one-off cosmetic update. And the Eixample address puts Passeig de Gracia and Casa Mila within walking distance, without the price tag that comes with sitting directly on the Gothic Quarter's busiest tourist strip.
Anyone weighing up several Eixample options can check the full range of Barcelona hotels on Traveloka to see how room sizes, terrace access and pool facilities compare against nearby boutique and apartment-style properties before settling on a room category.
Glowing guest reviews set a high bar to plan around, and cleanliness plus room comfort are specifically what's driving them, useful to know if those are the two things you personally care about most when picking a room here.
Once your room is booked, it's easy to build out the rest of the trip; Traveloka's homepage is a convenient place to start planning flights, activities and onward stays elsewhere in Spain.
