Our hostel’s brand-new vintage design was inspired by the neighborhood of Barcelona that we’re located in – Poble Sec. This area was the epicenter of Barcelona’s theater scene in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Today, Poble Sec is still filled with lots of theaters, including Mercat de les Flors, Sala Barts, La Ciutat del Teatre, and El Molino (which specializes in cabaret). From the name, you might expect Teatre Apolo to be a theater, too, but it’s actually one of the coolest nightclubs in Barcelona.
You can see our home district’s history right in the walls of our hostel, too. We’ve incorporated Poble Sec’s theatrical history into our decor, including the sign outside, the theater-style chars inside, and the seating area that looks like a theater dressing room. Keep your eyes peeled for special theatrical memorabilia and art on the walls, as well as the quotes from famous plays painted on the walls.
With a truly local inspiration, there’s no other place quite like this in all of Barcelona. Come in and make yourself at home!
