The Bar/Lounge at Hotel Cram

"It's located in a 19th-century mansion in the heart of L'Eixample, and while the original rose-pink facade has been retained, the interior lounges have been tastefully refurbished with dark-red cushions, gleaming black surfaces, and futuristic disc-shaped chairs"

"Totally refurbished in 2014, Cram Hotel is an upscale design-focused boutique set in the heart of Barcelona's vibrant, gay-friendly Eixample district"

"The name may be a bit off-putting, but rest assured the Cram isn’t crammed with anything except a very cool Barcelona crowd"

"Barcelona has 55 museums, covering almost the entire range of human interests, including the Chocolate Museum, FC Barcelona Football Club Museum and the Sex Museum"

"The bright, naturally lit Ànemos Bar is surrounded by a dark-wood terrace, which has a small pool and lounge chairs"

"The Hotel Cram is more spacious than its unfortunate name might indicate, with a bright, unpretentious design, a Michelin-starred restaurant and a rooftop bar with an enviable view"

"For fans of modern design who want a calm, authentic Barcelona experience, Cram is a good choice"
