"The busy blocks around Barcelona’s Plaça de Catalunya are jam-packed with hotels, but few are as historic — or as refined — as the Hotel Regina. The original hotel dates back to 1917, and many of its details remain intact, from the glamorous arched entryway with stained glass paneling to the Art Deco-style spiral staircase with hairpin-like wrought-iron railings. But the hotel was revamped in early 2024, its guest rooms refreshed and its ground-level salon and petite interior patio turned into a stylish all-day café and tapas bar." - Tablet Hotels
