Hotel Axel

  • Price range: $$-$$$
  • Location: Eixample

Fodor's Review:

This hotel catering primarily (but by no means exclusively) to gays has spacious and spotless rooms with every possible comfort, a mid-Eixample location in what has come to be known as the "Gayxample." Rooms are soundproof and luminous. Free bottled water is available in every corridor. The hotel restaurant is excellent, and the rooftop Skybar has wonderful views over the city. Pros: exciting minimalist contemporary design, graceful public spaces and lighting, friendly service. Con: erotic in-room art could be outside some guests' comfort zone.
