"Soho House was established by Nick Jones as a member’s only club in London in 1995. It was conceived as a meeting point for young, upwardly mobile media types—something it has veered away from in recent years as city traders, lawyers, and accountants began to aspire to it as well, but after a bit of a shake-up is getting back on track and attracting creatives once more. The interiors have always been done by Soho House’s own team of designers under sister brand Soho Home, in the case of Soho House Barcelona, aided by local architect Hector Restrepo Calvo. Relatively new to the Barcelona scene, the hotel is pocket-sized and seductive, already buzzing and as fun as a packet of sparklers.
