Nobu Hotel Barcelona unveils “The World of Gaudí,” a private, design-led itinerary from Sagrada Família to Casa Vicens, paired with a three-night Skyline Room stay.
Nobu Hotel Barcelona has introduced “The World of Gaudí” a new, hotel-led private experience designed for travellers who want Barcelona’s modernism without the rush-hour choreography. The offering combines a guided, architecture-forward itinerary across the city’s Gaudí landmarks with a minimum three-night stay at the hotel, including breakfast at height and spa access.
2026 is a historic year for Barcelona, marking the centenary of Antoni Gaudí’s death and reaffirming the city’s position as a global capital of modernist and architectural heritage. It is also set to be a defining moment for the Sagrada Família, with the Tower of Jesus Christ scheduled for completion on 10 June at 172.5 metres, coinciding with the announced papal visit to the city on 9 and 10 June.
The news in brief
What’s new at Nobu Hotel Barcelona
“The World of Gaudí” is positioned as a private, curated architectural journey, the kind that prioritises pace, access, and context (the why behind the stone and light), rather than squeezing five highlights into one breathless day.
Where it takes guests
The experience begins at Sagrada Família, continues through a trio of Gaudí residential icons, includes a cava stop at a modernist institution, and ends with an after-hours sunset visit to Casa Vicens.
The itinerary, as Nobu frames it
Private guiding at Sagrada Família
The day opens with a private transfer and professional guide at the Sagrada Família, focusing on Gaudí’s symbolism and architectural logic—plus an update on ongoing works, including progress on the central Tower of Jesus Christ.
The modernist promenade: Casa Calvet, Casa Batlló, La Pedrera
Next comes a “walkable” chapter of Barcelona modernism via three of Gaudí’s most emblematic residential works:
- Casa Calvet
- Casa Batlló
- Casa Milà (La Pedrera)
It’s an elegant arc: from dignified, city-facing Gaudí to the fully unbuttoned, sculptural version—where balconies become bone and rooflines behave like waves.
A cava stop at Colmado Múrria
Because Barcelona modernism isn’t just façades—it’s the rituals. The route includes refreshments at Colmado Múrria, the modernist “jewel-box” founded in 1898, with a glass of cava built into the pause.
The finale: Casa Vicens, after hours
Sunset access at Casa Vicens
The day culminates with an exclusive private visit to Casa Vicens—Gaudí’s first major work and a UNESCO World Heritage Site—scheduled at sunset and after hours, when the house reads less like a museum and more like a manifesto in colour, pattern, and early ambition.
