"Beautifully renovated and ever-so cozy, with a location in the most charming neighborhood in Barcelona, Borneta has that genuine home-away-from-home vibe that most hotels aspire to but few achieve. Rooms range from The Classic, to The Superior, The Signature, The Corner and The Terrace, all the way up to the Borneta suite. Many have small balconies, some have private terraces, overlooking sights like Passeig de Picasso, or Park Ciutadella—you can even spot the Sagrada Família from the top-floor suites that come with exclusive rooftop access, a well-stocked complimentary minibar full of locally-inspired treats, and spacious terraces. Less famous than Gaudí’s Park Güell, Ciutadella Park is often (and sadly) overlooked by visitors. Set right across the road from Borneta, there’s no excuse not to check it out. Don’t miss the recently restored iron greenhouse, built for the 1888 Universal Exposition." - Gemma Askham, Isabelle Kliger
