Santa Eulalia

"This heritage luxury fashion house is one of the few original icons left on the city’s increasingly international scene. Boasting four generations of retail acumen, the multi-brand department store has been in this exquisite space since 1944 (the original shop opened just off La Rambla in 1843). An in-house tailor nods to tradition while Balenciaga, Moncler, Kenzo, Acne Studios and Tom Ford are just a sample of the labels on offer. Meanwhile a bistro and champagne bar provide a discreet oasis upstairs. “We ensure that everyone is made to feel comfortable,” says owner and director Luis Sans."

"Santa Eulalia, a family-owned, multi-brand boutique, has been open since 1843, when it was a pioneer in bringing haute couture to Catalunya. Now, more than 175 years later, it still stocks designer names that you can’t get anywhere else in the city. Located on Passeig de Gràcia, a high-end luxury corridor, the shop is simply beautiful, with airy interiors designed by New York City's William Sofield. The collections are exquisitely edited and the service is spot on: attentive when you want it to be, without making you feel hawk-watched if you nipped in for a non-committal browse." - Gemma Askham
