Housed in an eye-catching octagonal building in Barcelona’s central Eixample neighbourhood, this attractive corporate room offers refined simplicity for those looking for a fuss-free city stay. Bright, and pared-back, the room offers wood floors, tall windows and a large, comfortable bed taking centre stage. There’s a desk space here should you need to shoot off some emails, while the lack of a kitchen means you’re free to indulge in the city’s vibrant food scene with plenty of casual and high-end restaurants on your doorstep. The building has several lounge areas for you to relax in after a day of exploring, with sightseeing highlights guaranteed to include nearby Casa Batlló, Casa Milà, and the iconic Sagrada Familia. Between hitting the historic hotspots, be sure to admire the parade of Modernist townhouses lining the Eixample’s streets and stop for a cortado at a cosy local sidewalk café to people-watch and soak up the atmosphere of this uniquely buzzing city.
