A triumph of design built around a (mostly original) 1930s staircase, this hotel offers purity of line and minimalist sleekness as the reigning aesthetic principles, especially inside the rooms. The roof terrace is a tour de force, the different sections divided by contrasting colors and textures. Pros: ideally positioned in the middle of the Eixample, superbly balanced minimalist design, elegant service. Cons: opens onto Barcelona's main shopping street, wide, bustling, and loud.
