Location, location, location…

The location is excellent, whether walking out of the front door straight up to Montjuic via the Mies pavillion, or hopping on the Metro at Espanya which is at the junction of 2 key lines. It is also a very short walk into the heart of the Raval and not much further to the sea front. The hotel’s very slick roof-top terrace on the 8th floor, with bar service and infinity pool, takes full advantage of the situation with breath-taking views across the city. It’s a perfect location for idle sun worshippers.

Inside, the rooms are as seen on the website - even the basic rooms are very spacious and relaxing. The minimalist styling with recessed lighting doesn’t mean sacrificing all the comforts of a good 4-star hotel and it does mean a sense of calm and comfort. The service too is very friendly and helpful.

I could happily live out of the hotel…if only I didn’t have to return home…que sera sera…
