Forbes gives Cotton House Four Stars. It's a Marriott Autograph Collection hotel on the Gran Via with a rooftop pool and Batuar Restaurant & Bar, about 3.7 road miles from the Moll Adossat by our routing.
The rooms are named after fabrics — Cotton, Madras, Panamá and Egyptian, then the Damasco, Otomán, Vichy and Tafetán suites.
The homepage we read leaves a lot out: parking, breakfast, pets and times. MICHELIN lists it without a Key.
Book it for the rooftop, and ask the practical questions before you pay.
Book it if
- You'd like a Marriott hotel for the night
- A rooftop pool will do the evening
- You want a Forbes Four-Star in the Eixample
Look elsewhere if
- You need parking details before you arrive.
- You want a hotel restaurant with a bigger menu.
- You're bringing a pet and need terms.
