"Monument Hotel is an elegant five-star hotel that’s opened on the same premises as Restaurante Lasarte, a three-star restaurant by Martín Berasategui, the Basque chef who holds more Michelin stars than any other chef in Spain. Lasarte is a landmark, considered one of the best places to eat in Barcelona, and now it has a hotel to match. Both are located in a grand 19th-century building on the Passeig de Gràcia, a few minutes’ walk from a pair of Antoni Gaudi’s dazzling architectural projects, Casa Battló and La Pedrera. So it seems natural that the Monument Hotel’s striking modern interior, with its curving ceilings and soaring vertical beams, is vaguely reminiscent of Gaudi’s great masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia cathedral." - Tablet Hotels
