With terrific port views, this fresh five-star offers every comfort – including a restaurant under Michelin-starred chef Marc Gascons and a rooftop bar and plunge pool – but never feels stuffy. The 28 chic white balconied rooms, with outsized tile-patterned headboards, have thoughtful extras like yoga mats, hair tongs, rain showers and luxurious mattresses; brighter front rooms have better views (some from the bathtub!).
The 19th-century building, designed by Francesc Daniel Molina, was once the studio of a young Pablo Picasso.
