The 34 Best Hotels in Barcelona
"Nobu caused a stir when it opened next to Barcelona’s unfashionable Sants railway station in 2019. Since then both the hotel and the area have had a glow-up. Nobody will ever know which caused what but, frankly, who cares since Nobu Barcelona is just a couple blocks away from some of the city's hottest local restaurants and wine bars, and you can reach central Barcelona in a matter of minutes by cab, train or metro. Inside it’s a zen fantasy: a beautiful abstract tapestry highlights the impressive double height of the lobby. The painting behind the reception desk–inspired by the Japanese ink art of sumi-e–is a motif that is carried across the hotel, as is the warm wood paneling, a running theme throughout the common areas and guest rooms." - Gemma Askham, Isabelle Kliger
