The Antigua Hidroelectrica de Cataluna combines an office building and hotel within a structure featuring detailed Art Nouveau architectural elements in its facade and interior spaces.

The building holds the status of Cultural Asset of Local Interest, reflecting its importance in preserving Barcelona's industrial and architectural heritage from the early 20th century.

Located at the intersection of medieval streets in the Gothic Quarter, the building offers convenient access to Barcelona Cathedral and remains connected to multiple public transportation options.
