"When you’re neighbors with La Pedrera, one of Gaudí’s most surreal feats of stone craft, there’s a tiny problem: How on Earth do you get noticed? The building that houses Sir Victor went modern, and its façade—with architect Capella Garcia’s white balconies that curve out like the open pages of a book—has become Barcelona-famous in its own right. Below, the reception is minimal and sceney; a marble pool table hangs out with midnight-blue velvet chairs and enough intentionally positioned art books to let you know that you’re in a Design Hotel." - Gemma Askham, Isabelle Kliger
