España Review
For location, decor, and economy, this recently renovated Art Nouveau gem is rushing to the top of Barcelona's hotel offerings. Abutting the Liceu opera house and 100 yards from the middle of the Rambla, this Moderniste tour de force was built by Palau de la Música architect Lluís Doménech i Montaner in 1904. One big lure is its excellent restaurant, Fonda España ($$), directed by Martín Berasategui and surrounded by Art Nouveau ceramics by mosaic master Mario Maragliano (1864-1944). Rooms depart from the more ornamental public spaces in favor of handsome and paired-down decor in grays and dark browns reminiscent of West Elm.
