Soho House

La Rambla & Barri Gòtic


An elegant outpost of the famous London members' club, with luxuriously appointed rooms, an exclusive bar peopled with celebs, yoga classes, a 24-hour gym, a Cowshed spa and a rooftop pool with candy-striped loungers and incredible sea views. Vaulted brick ceilings, antique furniture and tiled floors highlight the building's 19th-century origins. Italian restaurant Cecconi's is a draw in its own right.

Soho House also runs beautifully boutiquey Little Beach House: just 17 Mediterranean-inspired rooms in a chicly reimagined 1950s sea-fronting hotel in Garraf, a former fishing village 30km southwest of central Barcelona.
