Fodor's Review:
A cut alongside the jagged edge of the Sant Agustí church leads straight to the Hotel España, remodeled in 1904 by Lluís Domènech i Montaner, architect of the Moderniste flagship Palau de la Música Catalana. The interior is notable for its Art Nouveau decor. The hotel is recommendable only for aesthetes who prefer art over life (or, in any case, comfort), as the rooms are less than perfect. The sculpted marble Eusebi Arnau mantelpiece in the breakfast room and the Ramon Casas murals (with mermaids who have legs down to their flippers) in the dining room are, along with the lushly ornate dining room, the hotel's star artistic features.
