Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona
A modernist city centre escape





A haven of sophistication in the Eixample district, flanked by designer boutiques and marked by ornate neoclassical carvings on its Passeig de Gràcia entrance, this 120-room and suite bolthole boasts Patricia Urquiola interiors that look out to either the aforementioned shopping street or the hotel’s verdant courtyard garden. High-tech in-room amenities complement the contemporary styling, and a generous dosage of prestige comes in onsite Michelin-starred Catalonian restaurant Moments. Impressive city views from rooftop Terrat lounge, and the much-lauded spa complete the well-balanced picture.
