L'Eixample
Apartment-style living is the name of the game here, often at an excellent price given its superb location. Self-contained apartments (41 altogether) with their own kitchen, washing machine and access to a terrace, gym and two pools lie behind the wavy steel facade by Japanese architect Toyo Ito, as does a mini-museum of Hindu and Buddhist art.
Family apartments, with two bedrooms and a fold-out sofa bed, sleep up to five people. Cots can be arranged on request.
