Founded over 150 years ago by a select group of Catalan businessmen, the Círculo Equestre is housed in the magnificent Casa Pérez Samanillo, located on one of the corners of Carrer de Balmes and Avinguda Diagonal. This Modernista residence dates from 1910 and was designed by the architect Joan Josep Hervás i Arizmendi. The furniture maker Joan Esteva was commissioned for the sumptuous decoration.
The luxurious residencies of the bourgeoisie
Although one side of the building was knocked down in the 1930s, Casa Pérez Samanillo still conserves many of its original features from the beginning of the 20th century: The exterior marble staircase, the Venetian mirrors, the Murano glass chandeliers, the fireplace and the wall and ceiling decorations are just some examples. Nowadays, it is the venue for family reunions, business meetings and even golf tournaments. The club makes a variety of rooms available to its more than 1,500 members, and offers services that include bedrooms, a gym, a swimming pool, a solarium and a restaurant with a terrace.
A select club
The Círculo Equestre is a traditional meeting place for politicians and leading figures from the financial and other sectors. The high membership fees and the club’s conditions for admittance maintain its exclusive character.
