The Casa Sagnier building, originally called the “Casa Dolors Vidal de Sagnier” in honour of Enric Sagnier’s wife, was built in 1892 in one of the most elegant areas of Barcelona’s Eixample neighbourhood as a family home and architect’s studio.

With no pressure to appease clients, Sagnier gave free rein to his creativity in designing the Casa Sagnier building, which blends elements of Gothic architecture with different ornamental sculptures.

Enric Sagnier is the architect who designed the largest number of Modernist buildings in Barcelona and is considered one of the most important architects of the Modernist movement, together with Gaudí, Puig i Cadafalch and Domènech i Montaner. 

After many years of use as a residential building, it was converted into a hotel in 2008. It was restored in 2021 to bring back its original character. Today, the five-star boutique hotel Casa Sagnier pays homage to the life and career of this prolific architect from Barcelona.
