Like an ultramodern lighthouse at this southwest gateway to the city, the glass towers of this luxury megahotel hold more than 400 spacious rooms, most with stunning views. Extensive gardens, once part of the farmhouse that stood here until well into the 20th century, surround the hotel. Facilities include two outdoor pools, a lake, a fitness club and five restaurants.
If you can drag yourself away, the nearby metro can take you to central Barcelona in around 20 minutes.
