Hotel Brummell
Primero Primera
A boutique hotel in a former textile factory on the edge of El Born, a few minutes’ walk from the Palau de la Música and the Arc de Triomf. The name comes from the 19th-century passage that still runs underneath the building.
The rooftop is the highlight: a pool, sunloungers and a view over the whole city. Downstairs there’s a small spa with a sauna and hammam, plus a gym – both for guests 16 and up.
Only 60 rooms, so it feels personal. Better suited to couples than to families with young kids.
Yurbban Passage Hotel & Spa
Barcelona’s grande dame. It opened in 1919 as the Ritz, and it still has all the old-school glamour: marble, gilding, and some bathrooms with Roman-style mosaic baths set into the floor.
On the roof there’s a garden with jasmine-covered pergolas, a small pool and a tapas bar. Downstairs, the Mayan-inspired spa has a traditional temazcal steam room, and the Bluesman bar has live jazz most nights.
Don’t miss Amar, chef Rafa Zafra’s seafood restaurant – one of the best places in the city for a splurge.
