Chris, NY, Rating: 4 of 5, Date of Stay: March 2008
This genuine 21st-century hotel with an emphasis on interior design -- lots of glass panels, polished wood, and brushed steel -- is not dissimilar to Glasgow's landmark Lighthouse building. But because it's tucked away in the nether reaches of the city, few people have discovered it. Its advantage, aside from being a design gem yet to be discovered, is its eastern seaboard location (great for hip city beaches like Bogatell and Mar Bella), which is an excellent location if your holiday aim is sunbathe by day, and "moon bathe" and listen to local DJ talent by night. If you want to explore the sights and soak up the atmosphere of old Barcelona, though, it's a 20-minute taxi ride -- or slightly longer trip by Metro. Bedrooms are sleek and spacious, all with en-suite, light-filled bathrooms, and many have sea views. Communal facilities include a Japanese garden for relaxing breakfasts and early-evening cocktails, and a swanky, avant-garde restaurant. Check the website for deals. With rooms often going for less than 100€ ($125) a night, it's a real bargain.
