Casa Fuster 
$$$$, Gràcia
Fodor's Review:
Casa Fuster is one of two chances (the other is the España hotel) to stay in an Art Nouveau building designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner, architect of the retina-rattling Palau de la Música Catalana. His last project, built in 1911, this elegant hotel at the bottom of the village of Gràcia shows a tendency toward the more classical Noucentisme that followed the decorative delirium of the Moderniste movement. The rooms and public spaces reinforce the Moderniste theme with Gaudí-designed chairs, trencadis (broken tile) floors and door handles, and Art Nouveau-inspired lamps and fixtures. The hotel restaurant serves fine Mediterranean cuisine, while the sumptuously decorated Café Vienés was a historic meeting place for Barcelona's movers and shakers of the early 20th century. Pros: well placed for exploring Gràcia as well as the Eixample, equidistant from the port and upper Barcelona's Tibidabo. Con: the design can feel a little heavy and mournful.
