Drink up next-level city views and sunshine from the shared rooftop terrace and restaurant of this sublime boutique hotel set in a sandstone period building in vibrant El Raval. Sunny mornings are all about continental breakfasts on the shared terrace (there's no kitchen in your room here), though if the weather doesn't buck up, there's heaps of space inside the restaurant too. And the views of Plaça de la Universitat are sensational whether you're inside or out. Back downstairs, you'll love the gloriously clutter-free and contemporary interiors of the room. There's a dedicated desk space if you plan to work during your stay. And daily housekeeping will keep everywhere spick and span, leaving you to focus on exploring the city. Dive into the lively streets surrounding Plaça de la Universitat to discover trendy boutiques lining Rambla del Raval and the colourful market at La Boqueria (ten minutes on foot). And for art lovers, the contemporary Catalan art of MACBA is just a short stroll away.
