The takeaway

Choose it for a Passeig de Gràcia address, a former-bank setting and a strong Catalan dining-and-wellness offering without leaving the city centre.

About the hotel

On Barcelona’s Passeig de Gràcia, this 120-room-and-suite hotel occupies a redeveloped 1955 bank building, retaining a link to its former use in details such as the original safes at Banker’s Bar. Patricia Urquiola’s interiors bring contemporary design to the former headquarters, while views look either to the avenue or the hotel’s Mimosa Garden. The experience is distinctly urban: Catalan dining, a spa and seasonal rooftop spaces sit alongside the city’s shopping and modernist architecture.

Choose it if

You want to explore Barcelona’s modernist architecture and shopping from a central Passeig de Gràcia base.
You value Catalan dining and a hotel with both a spa and an indoor pool.
You’re travelling as a family and want family suites, children’s menus and child-focused in-room options.

Hotel Miramar Barcelona

Barcelona, Spain

City75 roomsHistoric

On Montjuïc, Hotel Miramar Barcelona looks across the city, port and Mediterranean from gardens above the urban bustle. Its 75-room scale gives the property a more contained feel than a large city hotel. The building brings together the preserved façade of a 1929 Exhibition-era palace and a terraced contemporary extension by Óscar Tusquets. Gardens and views shape the setting; the hotel’s indoor and seasonal outdoor pools, spa, restaurant and bars make staying on the hill an experience in itself.

Bairro Alto Hotel

Rooms draw on Lisbon’s textures, colors and materials, with a modern touch. The hotel’s defining public spaces rise above the street: a restaurant and terrace on the fifth floor, a rooftop with views over the city and Tagus, and a wellness and fitness center.

Palacio Duhau - Park Hyatt Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires, Argentina

City165 roomsHistoric

On Avenida Alvear in Recoleta, this 165-room hotel occupies two contrasting buildings: a restored 1934 palace and the contemporary Posadas building. Gardens connect the pair, while an underground gallery adds an art-focused thread to the stay. The palace brings French academic architecture and historic interiors; Posadas offers a more modern counterpoint. With several restaurants, a bar, and Ahín Wellness & Spa on site, Palacio Duhau makes its strongest case as a grand, self-contained base for exploring Buenos Aires.
