Known for its wonderful Modernista interiors in the dining rooms and bar, in which architect Domènech i Montaner, sculptor Eusebi Arnau and painter Ramon Casas had a hand, this hotel offers plush, contemporary rooms in a building that still manages to ooze a little history. There's a plunge pool and sun deck on the roof, along with a bar.
The ground-floor restaurant, La Fonda, serves good-value Catalan dishes.
