"There is a reason why Mandarin Oriental Barcelona figures year after year not only on lists of the best hotels in Barcelona, Spain, but in the world. Every detail is absolutely flawless, from the friendly doormen to the impeccable lobby. Michelin-starred cuisine, light-filled rooms and suites, a luxurious spa and gym, and a lovely rooftop plunge pool all round out the experience at this totally-worth-the-splurge grande dame. Rooms at Mandarin Oriental have a new look following a pandemic-era glowup. Bright and colorful, the new palette blends all the hues of the Mediterranean, from the elegant teal headboards to the snug terracotta armchairs. The Deluxe Garden room is the most affordable in the house, which—given that this is the Mandarin Oriental—means $600 and up. Despite being on the smaller side (starting from 345 square feet), the room is flooded with light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows." - Gemma Askham, Isabelle Kliger
