The hallmark of Catalan avant-garde

Casa Vilaró stands out for its modernity. Though built in 1929, when Modernisme was still alive, the building introduced the new construction trends of the time, which aimed for functionality above everything else and the elimination of superfluous decoration. Decades of opulent buildings, overbearing decoration and expensive materials were being left behind. Reinforced concrete and metal structures were the mouthpiece of the new Rationalist era entering the country from Europe and the United States.

A stay at “Casa Vaixell”

You can stay at Casa Vilaró. The house, which has kept part of its original decoration and furniture, is rented out to families and companies. Its design has not passed its sell-by date almost 100 years after it was built, it stands in idyllic surroundings (next to Park Güell) and it has a magnificent terrace offering views of the whole of Barcelona and the sea.
