The 10 Best Hotels in Barcelona, Spain to Book Now - AFAR

"Tucked into the labyrinthine lanes of the Gothic Quarter and literally built into ancient Roman defense walls, this intimate property weaves historical elements—original stone walls, an 18th-century sloping wood ceiling and medieval pointed archways—into contemporary hospitality. A former watchtower has been converted into a cozy library, while the original walls are integrated into a contemporary cocktail bar and a sleek Catalan haute-cuisine restaurant. The hotel’s 28 rooms exude a hushed, refined ambiance, and a secluded rooftop terrace for guests features a plunge pool, bar and lovely views of nearby church spires." - Jennifer Ceaser
