The stunning design apartment that makes you feel right at home

Intimate, quiet oasis
With its palette of warm, bluish grays with some white and black mixed in, the Figi Apartment breathes intimacy and class. The apartment is in the back of the building, looking out on an inner courtyard. This makes it a very quiet home, great for light sleepers.
Designer furniture, natural touches
High-design furnishings and natural details give the place an elegant warmth. The sofa and the king-size Berber carpet are warmly lit by the Rosie Angelis lamp by Philippe Starck. The timeless BKF chair complements a side table made from the roots of a tree. The Corks night stands by Moooi light your bedtime reading in the king-size, minimalistic four poster bed.

Staying in this apartment means getting the best of both worlds. Just a few steps north, you're in the classy Eixample district. Venture south and instantly you're surrounded by history in the Gothic quarter, or Barri Gòtic.
Just a minute's walk north from the apartment is the Passeig de Gracia, the central avenue of the Eixample district. Fitting with the grandeur of the buildings and the majestic fountain in the middle, this street hosts some of the most exclusive shops in the city. And as you stroll from designer shop to department store, you happen upon some of the city's worldwide celebrities: the Gaudí buildings, two of which (La Pedrera and Casa Battlo) are in fact a world heritage site. Eixample also offers some of the finest restaurants and bars of the city. We would be happy to give you some inside tips during your stay.
A stroll south of the apartment brings you to the Barri Gòtic, the oldest part of the city, famous among others for its many cathedrals. The area, which dates back to medieval times, oozes character and charm. In the narrow, winding streets you come across many boutiques and trendy bars. Central to the area is Las Ramblas, the connected series of streets famous for its street artists and flower stalls and if you walk down La Rambla, you pass la Boqueria, by far the city's best indoor food market. Definitely worth a visit.
