The AC chain's flagship hotel is perched on top of Montjuïc, where the air's just a little bit fresher than in the city below and the view is fabulous. True, it has a slightly corporate air, what with its champagne marble and cappuccino sofas, but there's lots to recommend the hotel nonetheless, notably the scented orange-tree patio for drinks, a 'healthy' Mediterranean restaurant, a pale turquoise pool lit by fibre-optics at night and English-style lawns. Bedrooms are fairly uniform, but it's worth opting for something smaller towards the top, which rewards with a hot tub on the terrace.
