Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona

The Mandarin Hotel, Barcelona stands on the famous Passeig de Gràcia and its elegant architecture, designed by Carlos Ferrater and Juan Trias de Bes, is as spectacular and creative as the city itself. Its 120 guest rooms have impressive elegant and contemporary interiors by the Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola and reflect the legendary hospitality of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, together with the inimitable character that has made Barcelona one of Europe’s leading tourist destinations. At the Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona you’ll be able to enjoy cutting-edge Catalan cuisine from chef Carme Ruscalleda and her son Raül Balam, at the 2-Michelin-starred restaurant Moments, or relax at Blanc, which is open all day. At the Banker’s Bar you’ll be able to sample innovative cocktails in a cosy and vibrant atmosphere. The bar pays tribute to the former bank once housed inside the building with its ceiling fashioned from the original safes. If you prefer al fresco dining, you can go to the Mimosa Garden or El Terrat, the perfect place to cool down in the mid-depth pool while you enjoy delicious cocktails and Nikkei food. The Spa is the perfect place to get away from the everyday bustle of the city. You can relax in the 12-metre pool or in the 8 rooms where you can enjoy exclusive treatments.
