Catalonia El Pilar

Zaragoza


Ten out of 10 for the facade, a handsome Modernista construction that has been artfully renovated to house this eminently comfortable hotel. Inside, rooms are spacious and decorated in restful, muted earth tones with elegant marble-clad bathrooms.

See if you can get one of the corner rooms with a glassed-in external gallery.
