The Bar/Lounge at Casa Fuster Hotel

"Rooms are in natural tones, with huge beds and gorgeous bathrooms, while public areas make full use of the architectural heritage, from the magnificent pillared lobby bar, Café Vienés, to the wonderful panoramic roof terrace and pool – summer nights see the terrace turned over to chill-out lounge bar Blue View"

"Attractive lounge-cafe, top-quality guestrooms and a panoramic bar on the roof terrace"

"The hotel's Café Vienés (jazz on Thursday evening) was a historic meeting place for Barcelona's movers and shakers in the early 20th century"

"Hotel features include a Mediterranean restaurant as well as a beautiful rooftop deck with a small pool and gorgeous panoramic views of Barcelona"

"I’m not a fan of the rooms—the décor is absolutely conventional—but the bar, the rooftop and the service are all top-notch"

"The hotel's Viennese cafe has become one of Barcelona's best jazz clubs, but soundproofing is so good that you won't hear a single saxophone honk in your room"

"The Café Vienés, once a meeting place for Barcelona's intellectuals, hosts excellent jazz nights on Thursdays from 9pm"

"Next, stroll along La Rambla, one of Barcelona’s most iconic streets, and stop at the Boqueria Market to sample fresh fruit, vegetables, seafood and meat, or belly up to one of the few tapas bars"

"Because of the hotel’s location atop Passeig de Gràcia’s highest point, the rooftop terrace with a pool, fitness center, and lounge offers one of the best views of the city"

"The interior bar, Café Vienés, is particularly beautiful—go here for a coffee or a cocktail"
