The Corner Hotel  

Set in Barcelona’s Eixample at the corner of Mallorca and Muntaner, this hotel drops you a short walk from Passeig de Gràcia, Casa Milà and Casa Batlló. Plaça Catalunya, Avinguda Diagonal, Hospital Clinic, Palau de la Música and even Sagrada Família are all easy to reach from this city-center address.

72 rooms blend industrial-chic with modern tech — think Smart TVs, minibars, Bluetooth/piped music, individual climate control and a pillow menu. Bathrooms come with tubs or showers, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. A seventh-floor solarium and rooftop oasis give the place a quiet, sun-soaked edge above the city bustle.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool and relax on the solarium terrace or sip cocktails at the rooftop bar with city views. Onsite perks include a terrace, concierge service, 24-hour reception and private parking (charges may apply). Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected throughout the property.

A business center, meeting room and banquet hall make events simple. Laundry and dry-cleaning services, plus a 24-hour front desk and concierge, help keep schedules on track.

Grab a coffee or light lunch at The Tangram Bar on the first floor, or head up for tapas and cocktails at the rooftop bar. There’s a snack bar/deli, limited-hour room service and a buffet breakfast served 7:30–10:30 (fee applies).
