Hotel Brummell

Top choice in Barcelona


With a creative soul, fun atmosphere and custom-designed furniture alongside European and Sri Lankan antiques, this thoughtfully styled Poble Sec boutique continues to turn heads. The 20 bright, bespoke rooms have minimalist design, rain showers and yoga mats; the best have terraces with views and outdoor tubs. Kind-hearted staff share tips, and there's a great restaurant/cafe plus a terrace with dip pool.

Don't miss the vending machines with bottles of wine and gourmet snacks, or the free yoga and exercise classes. The most affordable rooms feel slightly tight.
