The Spa at Gran Hotel La Florida

"There’s also an achingly lovely spa and pool, and Sunday brunch on the terrace at L’Orangerie restaurant is one of the city’s great secrets"

"Communal amenities include a world-class restaurant, Barcelonas, a cafe for more casual meals, a spa and infinity pool, and terraced gardens"

"Guest rooms feature contemporary furnishings in soothing neutral tones, great views of either the city or the Pyrenees Mountains, and spacious marble bathrooms"

"The infinity pool extends to the edge of a cliff overlooking the city, and L’Orangerie restaurant serves Catalan, Spanish, and Mediterranean cuisine"

"This handsome six-story take on a traditional Catalan villa, which sits atop Mount Tibidabo at Barcelona’s northernmost edge, not only defines urbane comfort for the twenty-first century but is pulling in one of the sexiest crowds on the Continent with its indoor-outdoor stainless steel pool, high-tech spa, and 70 rooms and suites, many with private gardens"
