Núñez i Navarro Hotels, established in 2001, owns and manages nine hotels in the heart of Barcelona. The company contributes to the rich urban texture of the city with a fashionable and eclectic mix of hotels, ranging from restored historical landmarks, such as the Hotel 1898, to modern minimalist hotels, such as B-Hotel and Hotel Soho Barcelona. It recently renovated its flagship property, the Núñez Urgell Hotel, and renamed it U232 Hotel. The innovative company is the first in Spain to launch a customer travel blog at its website.
