An excellent example of how a place can help to breathe new life into a city neighbourhood, this hotel also offers comfort, style and sought-after extras like a rooftop terrace with a pool and panoramic views and a popular Sunday brunch. Owned by the Spanish Barceló chain, this hotel might have seemed a bit of a gamble when it was built in the late 2000s. The reason? Its location in the centre of El Raval neighbourhood, perhaps best described as a rough and ready area that tourists (and not a few locals) had previously tended to avoid. However, nowadays the barrio has undergone a notable but not totally suffocating gentrification process, and the hotel has much to commend it both in terms of local amenities and the Barceló Raval's own services. From your first sight of the building, a dark-coloured ellipsis with a metal mesh-like cover, to the moment you see the views of the city from its rooftop terrace, this is a place full of visual treats. Pops of strong colour, vibrant lighting, 360-degree panoramas of Barcelona… the list of memorable sensory experiences is long. There are three types of room, with the pricier ones being those with more floor space and better views, but they all share the big windows, technological touches and more than a nod to quality and comfort. One of the hotel’s biggest draws is its stunning rooftop, which includes a plunge pool and from where you feel as though you can see the whole city; while literally at the other end of the building, the B-Lo
