Villa Retiro (Tarragona, Catalonia) 1 Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"The word “modernist” means something different in the context of Catalonian architecture. This late-19th-century palace owes nothing to Bauhaus or other visually austere traditions; its fanciful spires and parapets feel almost postmodern to today’s eye. In its present incarnation as a luxury boutique hotel, Villa Retiro has preserved all of the original structure’s ornate detail, and has added a contemporary building containing a further ten suites in a style that reads as modernist in the international sense —  crisp, clean lines, an absence of ornament, and unadorned local timber." - Tablet Hotels
