"Located in Poblenou—a former industrial zone now known for warehouses-turned-coffee shops and slow-food restaurants—this nine-story, 240-room property pairs homey design touches like terra-cotta floors and handcrafted tapestries with locally commissioned artwork. Dining options include a Detroit-style pizza joint and a rooftop taqueria that are popular with locals, especially at sunset. Designed for families and longer stays, a larger room category provides two bedrooms, a kitchenette and a dining area, and an on-site retail space stocks goods from Barcelona artisans, from sustainable clothing to organic cosmetics and bean-to-bar chocolate." - Jennifer Ceaser
