The glamour of yesteryear. The comfort of today.
Casa Alesan is located on the most exclusive street in one of the most exclusive areas of Barcelona: the Quadrat d’Or, which boasts the majority of modernist buildings. Passeig de Sant Joan is unique for its elegant, landscaped and quiet boulevard, its ornamental fountains and its emblematic buildings, such as the neighbouring Palau Macaya, declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest.

It is a historical legacy, a testimony of quality and a work of art. It is included in the Architectural Heritage site inventory of Catalonia.
The exaltation of beauty in its colourful original vitrages, its forged iron railings, its mosaic floors and its marble sculptures are a beautiful example of that transformative and visionary era, the cornerstone of today’s Barcelona.
