Challenge
The Antigua Casa Buenavista is a 4-star boutique hotel located on Ronda Sant Antoni, in the heart of Barcelona. The origins of this wonderful hotel can be traced back to the Buenavista restaurant, which opened its doors in 1918 and for many years became a gathering place for intellectuals, artists, and local residents.
More than a century later, the new generation of the family that took over the business decided to transform the building into a hotel—but not just any hotel. Instead, they envisioned a hotel that preserves the modernist essence of the famous Eixample district with a contemporary vision that respects its surroundings.
This was a significant challenge that went beyond simply maintaining the modernist exterior: that “Made in Barcelona” essence had to permeate every corner. For this reason, the Antiga Casa Buenavista was built on three fundamental pillars: a 100% local identity in terms of design, suppliers, service, and atmosphere; a commitment to the neighborhood and the hotel’s integration into the area’s social, environmental, and commercial initiatives; and a warm, family-like atmosphere.
CIHO: Peace of mind with i-max and i-volution locks
When the traditional Buenavista restaurant was transformed into the Antiga Casa Buenavista hotel, it was necessary to equip it with everything needed to achieve a clear goal: for guests to experience Barcelona as a local would, and to feel like part of the neighborhood from the moment they arrive.
CIHO, as a provider of hospitality services, played a key role in the process of transforming the Antiga Casa Buenavista. The high-quality products and solutions they have provided—and continue to provide—to the hotel have earned the trust of its owners, who say, “They know the property inside out, and we know their team by name.”
CIHO’s consistency, expertise, and personalized service align perfectly with the hotel’s philosophy. For this reason, when they recommended the i-max and i-volution locks, along with other TESA Hotel solutions, to Antiga Casa Buenavista, the hotel didn’t hesitate for a second. These locks blend seamlessly into the overall design of the rooms and preserve the modernist essence that permeates the hotel. Furthermore, they ensure that guests can move comfortably throughout the hotel while also having private spaces to enjoy their privacy.
