Alma Barcelona

Located in the upmarket Eixample district, a stone’s throw from Gaudi’s Casa Batlló and Casa Milà, is the Alma Barcelona. A sleek and modern hotel befitting of the stylish Catalan capital, it also has that which is so enviable in an inner city – outdoor space.

The 72 rooms and suites are minimalist in style with a neutral palette of greys and browns, and white marble bathrooms. The restaurant serves contemporary Mediterranean dishes which can be eaten inside or in the garden during the warmer months. The team know a thing or two about mixing the perfect cocktail, so be sure to swing by the bar to try your favourite tipple.

One of the hotel’s most impressive features is its beautiful rooftop terrace. Heavy slate planters are filled with greenery and the views across Barcelona’s skyline and the Sagrada Familia are second to none.

There is an equally pretty garden in which to enjoy a drink or a bite to eat while the indoor pool and spa is perfect for relaxing after a day’s sightseeing.
