Casa Batlló Reopens Restored Third Floor for Private Events and Stays

The move turns a once-residential flat into a revenue source with controlled access to protect the site.

Overview

  • Casa Batlló, which on Monday unveiled its restored third floor, will offer the space only by separate booking for small groups rather than through the standard tour.
  • The four-year, €4 million project stripped later layers to reveal original carpentry, pavements and stuccos from Gaudí’s 1906 redesign.
  • Restorers documented a previously unknown Gaudí-designed door handle and confirmed a cross-ventilation system that works without opening windows.
  • Two merged apartments total about 440 square meters, and OTTO Studio led by Paola Navone furnished ten rooms to suggest how the home could be lived in today.
  • Bookings start around €200 per hour per room, with examples such as €600 for a two-hour studio slot and €700 for two hours in the Salón Gaudí, and overnight use is available.
