Sensory experiences.
By: Claudia del Águila / C. Castany
At Yurbban Passage Hotel & Spa, the underlying concept is to offer sensory treatments for guests, bringing body, mind and spirit into harmony. The scents and textures of the products themselves, as well as the ways in which they are applied (sometimes using sprays), turn the treatment into an experience for the senses.
However careful we want to be with the environment, what we seek from a treatment is effectiveness. And that is the big question raised by this type of treatment and cosmetics. Santiago Bolívar, CEO of Signature Organic Spa, says that it is: “The key to products achieving their goal is the high concentration of the active ingredient. We use large amounts of active ingredients in each product, and that makes them very effective.”
One of the most striking things about Signature Organic Spa's treatment menu is that it offers special treatments for both couples and pregnant women. “There are few spas that specifically think about pregnant women and that's something we've decided to change,” explains Bolívar. These offerings are specially designed to relieve the discomfort expectant mothers may feel at different stages of pregnancy. Love Experiences, meanwhile, are carried out in double treatment rooms, so the couple can share that moment of complete relaxation and sensory indulgence. Finally, Beauty Parties are also available, treatments designed for bridal celebrations.
To complete that state of peace for body and spirit, after the treatment guests can enjoy the spa located in the centre. And it isn't just any spa: it is housed in a vaulted space where the original pillars have been preserved. The sauna and pool form a small oasis where you can escape the bustle of the city.
La Vanguardia
The gastronomic and artistic corner where you can relax.
Does your daily routine prevent you from maintaining a healthy lifestyle? Do you need to relax? Do you love gastronomy and art? Fancy a quick getaway to unwind? Yurbban Passage Hotel & Spa offers you a 100% healthy, gastronomic and artistic weekend, so you can enjoy taking time for yourself in an unbeatable setting.
Spain's first vegan spa, in a building with a rich history in Barcelona's Passatge de les Manufactures. From the Middle Ages until the 19th century, this passageway was home to various textile businesses, which is now reflected in an exhibition located within the premises called Petjades (Footprints), showcasing its past and present history. The passageway is now a charming corner of art and gastronomy. The refurbishment had one clear goal: to turn it into a place where both art and gastronomy could come together. The hotel continues with that philosophy, displaying paintings by different artists from Galería Senda, without overlooking the relaxation options it offers: a heated pool, sauna, steam bath and individual or couples' treatment rooms.
Yurbban Hotels offers the chance to enjoy the surroundings like a true local, allowing guests to experience the city from the inside. Without giving up the conveniences we are accustomed to, its revolutionary Concierge 2.0 service and mobile phones with 24-hour connectivity are available to guests. In this way, with the Porter & Sail app, the trip can be planned from the moment of booking, with routes and tips to help guests discover the city's secrets.
The facilities are cared for down to the last detail, with decoration playing a leading role. Raquel Sogorb was responsible for the design, opting for understated interiors with noble, 100% natural materials such as oak, walnut and linen, which can be appreciated in its 60 rooms divided into Standard, Terrace and Premium categories. Multisensory treatments to reconnect body, mind and spirit are available every day of the week. All cosmetics used are natural, vegan and free from DBP toxins.
Its gastronomic offering is one of its strongest points and is entirely healthy. Guests at Yurbban Passage Hotel & Spa can enjoy an authentic local breakfast feast. The d'Aprop restaurant offers a highly varied menu and has Xavier Franco, a Michelin-starred consulting chef. There is also the more casual Flax&Kale restaurant. But it isn't all about healthy living: sustainability is another of its priorities. For example, the hangers in the rooms are biodegradable. Guests can also choose to reuse towels to save energy and water, as well as explore the city in the most environmentally friendly way: by bicycle.

Signature Organic Spa, the first vegan centre on the Iberian Peninsula
The savoir faire of Jose Calderón and Santiago Bolívar in the world of wellness goes back a long way. The background of this duo, masters of the slow life through a holistic approach, has led them to come together in a perfect crossover in the spa world, resulting in the first centre on the Iberian Peninsula to offer vegan treatments. The Signature Organic Spa —as it is called—is tucked inside the new Yurbban Passage, which tastefully restores the basement of an 1878 building located in one of Barcelona's most historic passageways: Manufactures. An ideal setting to immerse yourself in a multisensory experience designed to relax, nourish and reconnect mind, body and spirit, which could be described as the paradigm of Slow Beauty.
Spas have become a vital necessity in the developed world, an essential oasis where we can disconnect from the frantic pace of everyday life and its inherent stress, which often causes all kinds of muscle pain and other discomforts that find in these spaces the panacea of well-being. Well, at Good2b we can say that Calderón and Bolívar have just created a new need for our times: for these treatments to be vegan at their core. What does that mean? Very simple: all rituals are carried out with natural and organic products, sourced around the world through Fair Trade practices, while avoiding gluten, DBP toxins or any trace of animal suffering. The result is the use of products that respect the environment and achieve a high concentration of their defining active ingredient. In this way, Jose and Santiago extend the boundaries of environmental awareness and bring it into the realm of wellness.
The spa immerses you in a holistic and multisensory experience to relax, nourish and reconnect mind, body and spirit
But spas do not live on awareness alone and, in addition to the fact that chemicals have no place here, we can add the beauty of this basement with its immense historical character. The key feature of this place is its heated pool, next to which there are three large and comfortable loungers—as evidenced by the state of ecstasy and complete relaxation of everyone who lies on them. From there, there is direct access to a sauna and steam bath, as well as to a corridor leading to the three treatment rooms: two individual rooms and a final double room designed for couples.
We recommend the Luxury Vegan Ritual, which costs €210 and takes you on a two-hour journey
Although there are treatments of every kind and for all types of guests—including ones designed for pregnant women who want to treat themselves—we recommend the Luxury Vegan Ritual, which costs €210 and takes you on a two-hour journey. It is a ritual that combines a facial and body experience, releasing tension and activating the skin's radiance—and take it from a Good2b'er, what is written here is 200% reliable. The treatment begins with a body scrub that removes dead skin cells and ends with the application of an organic dermoprotective oil, which can only mean one thing: it's massage time! It is an elixir of baobab and organic grape that, together with bergamot and lavandin essential oils, takes us to a state of immediate well-being. At this point, more than one person may claim to reach nirvana with an anti-ageing facial, ideal for stressed skin, which ends with a Kobido massage. The ritual culminates in the water area, where you can enjoy that feeling of infinite well-being... Make the most of it before it's too late!
