Barcelona is a city full of life, beauty, energy, history and culture. This city has it all: the ocean, the mountains and the most outrageous architectural landscape. It is the type of city where you want to wander and get lost, to explore, to look up and appreciate each building, eat the best paellas and tapas you’ve ever tried and while disconnecting from all that does not bring you true joy. Below are some of my favorite hotels, restaurants, cultural activities and shops!
TO STAY
Located in Barcelona's Eixample, a few blocks from the Gothic Quarter, this hotel is a 19th‑century former mansion with gorgeous preserved details and modern touches. Every detail is impeccable.
Personal & sophisticated with sleek details and an upscale atmosphere. The Edition in Barcelona has the perfect location to walk to Passeig de Gràcia and many historic and iconic landmarks. The rooftop is great for an afternoon cocktail!
Located on Passeig de Gràcia, with astonishing views over their gardens or the modernist landmark Casa Batlló. The perfect convergence between style and luxury.
Eclectic and right by the ocean 🤍 love coming here for a drink at sunset. The rooms are impeccable and with all the Mediterranean feels.
TO EAT
Located in the mountains of Montjuïc overlooking the city, the port & the sea. The rice here is sublime, the fish is fresh catch of the day and the open space makes you want to stay.
The hottest restaurant in town, fun atmosphere and amazing menu. Perfect for a Friday night out.
Best paella in town with sea views. Upscale environment and highest quality of ingredients.
