Boutique hotel in the centre of Barcelona

chic&basic Lemon sits right on the edge where El Raval, Eixample and the Gothic Quarter meet. A privileged location to see it all and squeeze every drop out of the city.

And sice every mission deserves proper rest, we've completely renovated the hotel to become that place you'll always want to come back to. Our 30 designer rooms, spread across five floors, invite you to switch off from the urban pace and ease into a slower, more laid-back tropical rhythm.

Design and comfort in the historic heart

At chic&basic Lemon, calm comes from the wild greenery that flows through every space. Inside, bold yellow blends effortlessly with lush greens thanks to plants such as the lemon trees that give the hotel its name, alongside other species with a more untamed, tropical feel.

The rooms follow the same code: fresh, bright and equipped with everything you need. Choose a superior exterior room and you'll also enjoy a large window or balcony overlooking Pelayo Street. Travelling with others? Our triple rooms are ready to become your shared base for adventure.

Relaxation continues in the garden terrace and in our Helpyourself and Beyourself areas, where nature once again takes centre stage. Before or after a busy day, our hotel with terrace in Barcelona is the perfect place to recharge... or simply wait until the night begins.
