"Opened in 1918, this more-than-100-year-old hotel on Paseo de Gracia sits within walking distance of Plaça de Catalunya and Antoni Gaudí’s Casa Milà. It offers a mix of traditional rooms, high-end suites and a penthouse with a private hot tub, and is noted for five-star service from check-in to check-out. The rooftop restaurant, La Dolce Vitae, features a seasonal swimming pool and a menu curated by chef Nandu Jubany, where guests can enjoy cocktails and bites while taking in sweeping city views that include the Sagrada Família. Voted the top hotel by readers with a 95.50 score, many plan entire Barcelona trips around staying here." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
