This sleek boutique hotel has a cool European vibe, a splendid rooftop terrace and a great location at the heart of the city.  Although this is a larger-scale boutique hotel (with 91 rooms), the cool, indie vibes are strong there. From the designer furniture to the promotion of slow food and the plant-lined rooftop terrace hosting DJs and aperitif sessions, the Pulitzer is hip with a capital H. The bedrooms are light and have a cosy European loft vibe, with fittings made from natural materials and elements in bright colours to keep things interesting. Freebies in all the rooms include WiFi, tea- and coffee-making facilities, and bottled water, while additional services include personal yoga sessions, in-room massages, and access to the nearby Holmes Place gym and pool. The Greenhouse Restaurant is bright, and decorated with wooden furniture and large plants; its innovative, appealing dishes are made using local, seasonal produce. At lunchtime there’s a good value set menu, while in the evening you can choose between á la carte and a tasting menu. If you’re in the mood for a drink, either head to the Lobby Bar or to the rooftop Pulitzer Terrace; both offer drinks, snacks and great music. Location: Cunningly located on a small street that gives onto Plaça Catalunya, at the Pulitzer you can enjoy the buzz of being in the city centre but slip away from the serious crowds to get to the hotel. It’s easy to walk to many of Barcelona’s sights and while you’ll find a lot of...

Towering over the lower end of Barcelona’s beaches, this luxury hotel offers all you need for a great time that combines relaxation and fun. From stunning views across the sand and sea to restaurants, bars, pools and a spa, you may be hard-pressed to find a reason to leave during your stay. This striking contemporary hotel sits at the most southerly point of Barcelona’s some 4 kilometres of beach. Thanks to its appearance (which could also be said to resemble three-quarters of a silver lemon slice), the W Hotel is known locally as ‘La Vela’, or ‘The Sail’, and it’s a fitting nickname for this five-star accommodation that offers stunning views of both the city skyline and the Mediterranean horizon. This is a place where the details count, and there are numerous different services to experience; indeed, far too many to list here. We’re talking two pools, two restaurants, four bars (including one on the 26th floor and two in the lobby); private cocktail classes, guest DJs, exclusive poolside cabins. There’s even a range of Ricardo Cavolo limited edition sneakers, for goodness sake! The whole vibe is luxury glam in a place set apart from the crowds and stresses of the city centre, so if you want a break surrounded by beautiful people where your every desire can be catered to right there, this is the hotel for you. Location: Its beachfront position is clearly one of the W’s big selling points (viz. the positioning of beds for contemplating the views), and it's close to beach...

Sandwiched between the Gothic Cathedral and the artsy El Born district, the Grand Central Hotel offers a unique blend of historic opulence and contemporary luxury design. It’s a building once famous for being the tallest in Europe, and one that housed the private rooftop apartment and gardens of Francesc Cambó, a legendary patron of Catalan culture in the nineteenth century.  You can glimpse its lush foliage above you while lounging at the rooftop terrace and pool – our first stop after checking in, naturally, which we were carted up to in a charming restored 1920s elevator. The infinity pool and views will make you feel reassuringly smug. It’s a smart, versatile set up, which means they maximise the use of the space throughout the day and it’s always got a nice vibe motoring along: think relaxing poolside coffee and lunch spot by day, bustling rooftop bar by night.  At the time of visiting, the new Can Bo restaurant was not yet open, however the rooftop bar menu was more than fine. The ground floor breakfast lounge has just enough options to cater for most tastes before tipping over into a gluttonous all-you-can-eat brunch. They even have breakfast cake, a move that got the gold seal of approval from my sweet-toothed partner.  The rooms are chic, spacious and recently refurbished in a really thoughtful mid-century modern execution. We stayed in the junior suite, which is a quietly spectacular space. Beautiful clean lines and stylish modern wood panelling create a cool and...

A stunning 19th-century building on one of the world’s most famous streets houses this luxury hotel that offers elegance and style. This hotel is full of history. The building, constructed in 1881, was originally a private residence and later became the headquarters of the Compañía General de Tabacos de Filipinas; the hotel’s name is taken from the year that the Spanish colonies of Cuba and the Philippines became independent. It was renovated in 2005 to become a luxurious colonial-style accommodation and there’s a range of bedrooms on offer, all decorated in warm tones with wood features and furniture. Spacious marble bathrooms, a pillow menu and free tea are available in all rooms, while the larger ones offer extras including free newspapers, a Nespresso machine or a private terrace. Fine dining is on offer at the Restaurante H1898, which also offers views over La Rambla, while the Bar H1898 continues the colonial theme with brown leather armchairs, wood panelling and lots of light. Up on the rooftop 'La Isabela' terrace, in the summer you can linger by the outdoor pool, savour signature cocktails and tapas, and even breakfast in this ample space with amazing views of the city; during cooler weather it's available for lunch and dinner. Last but certainly not least, the Spa H1898 is for the exclusive use of guests and features a pool, steam bath, sauna, gym, massages and more. The H1898 really is the complete package.
