"On first glance you might mistake one of Barcelona's hottest openings in recent years for a 1970s office block, but don't be fooled. Step inside and you'll find an airy, chic lobby lounge, with elegant walnut-paneled walls, oak floors, high ceilings, timeless cream décor offset by striking modern artworks, including the signature bright-white staircase. This is definitely an Edition hotel. The Barcelona Edition is right on the border of the city's enchanting, medieval Old Town and the Modernist Eixample neighborhood. The location is within easy stumbling distance of the city’s buzzing bar and restaurant scene, and close enough to the historic squares and narrow, winding alleyways of El Borne and the Gothic Quarter to allow you to check them out before the crowds descend." - Gemma Askham, Isabelle Kliger
