The Pool 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"

"But it's the 121-foot L-shaped indoor-outdoor infinity pool—made of stainless steel—that makes it perfectly clear this is no Old World hostelry anymore"

"Lay back and savor the view from the sprawling garden terrace, laid out with box hedges into intimate private spaces, with access to the L-shape indoor-outdoor pool"

"Relaxation is the focus here -- from the beautiful indoor/outdoor pool to the tranquil Zen Zone Spa"

"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"

"The hotel features a wonderful restaurant, spa by L'Occitane, open-air swimming pool, and in-house café and bar with regular live music"

"A Japanese suite provides a platform bed and whirlpool on the terrace"

"A large pool and terrace provide unparalleled privacy and tranquility, while luxury wellness and dining options inspire moments of romance and relaxation"
