"A grande dame on Passeig de Gràcia since 1918, this established luxury hotel pairs neoclassical elegance—stone columns in the lobby and a refined art collection—with rooftop dining at an eatery that affords sublime views of the Sagrada Familia. Its 272 classic rooms favor soothing creams and beiges, with some overlooking the avenue and Gaudí’s Casa Batlló; ninth-floor penthouse suites offer spacious terraces with outdoor Jacuzzis and commanding city views. Family-friendly amenities include sofa beds and connecting rooms, and exclusive guest experiences extend to private dinners inside lesser-known Modernista mansions." - Jennifer Ceaser
