Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona

One of the newest Mandarin Oriental hotels, located in the heart of Barcelona's shopping district - close to sightseeing attractions and just 10 minutes' walk from the Eixample gay quarter.

To say this hotel is highly stylised would be an understatement. Indeed, the interior spaces are quite spectacular. Even the walk from the entrance to reception is an experience.

Guest rooms are strikingly modern with just subtle hints to the Mandarin's heritage. Not huge, but they offer all the luxurious comforts, and you can expect a flawless service from arrival to departure.

The hotel has great dining options. The 9th floor rooftop bar (and dipping pool) is reserved for hotel guests. Finally, we should not forget to mention the spa! Over 1,000 m² of space including a 12-metre pool, gym and 8 treatment rooms.
