Hemingway is among the former guests of this magnificent 1920s-built property atop Tibidabo, which had a designer makeover this century. Chilli-red sunbeds offset a metallic infinity pool with spectacular views across Barcelona, while other facilities include an indoor pool, a L'Occitane spa and three restaurants. The 70 elegant rooms are styled with soothing neutrals and Modernista touches.
Public areas and some rooms are lined with original works by local artists, and the pick of the suites have terraces with hot tubs. A free shuttle bus links the hotel with the city centre several times daily.
