Formerly known as the Palacio de la Vedruna, the Hotel Claris is one of the most outstanding five-star hotels in Barcelona. The building, in the Catalan capital’s Eixample district, opened as a hotel in 1992, conserving the front of the old 19th-century palace. The interior is a universe in itself, featuring decorative elements combining classical and contemporary art, avant-garde and tradition: pre-Columbian pieces, Egyptian carvings, Turkish kilims, Indian sculptures, Roman mosaics dating to the 5th century and even original lithographs by Andy Warhol.
