The Bar/Lounge at New Hotel Colon

"Before Barcelona went boutique, this is the kind of traditional four-star hotel where big-spenders splashed their cash – an old-money establishment, with faithful-retainer staff, huge public salons and rooms at the front that throw open their windows onto balconies overlooking La Seu (cathedral view from €30 extra)"

"Inside, you'll find comfortingly traditional public lounges, a helpful staff, and good-sized guest rooms filled with cozy furnishings"

"The traditional building has a series of cozy lounges with classic antique and marble accents, and light drinks are often served on the panoramic terrace"
