A hospitality real estate joint venture between Bain Capital and Stoneweg Hospitality has sold the Casa Lit Barcelona hotel to Grupo Hoteles Gargallo for an unspecified amount.

The 4-star Spanish hotel, located in Barcelona, was constructed in 2010 on the site of the former Colón theatres. Stoneweg Hospitality took over the asset in 2022.

“We have every confidence that the sale to Grupo Hoteles Gargallo, a dynamic and fast-growing operator, will see a continuation of what is currently an exceptional guest experience in the economy segment, under a management committed to quality.”

Francisco Bello, operating partner at Bain Capital, said: ”This transaction is a testament to our focus on creating value through strategic investments in high-quality real estate assets. We are confident that Grupo Hoteles Gargallo will take the hotel to new heights.”
