The Bar/Lounge at Majestic Hotel & Spa Barcelona

"This hotel has been one of Barcelona's most visible landmarks since 1918, when it was built in this highly sought-after location just 10 minutes' stroll away from Plaça de Catalunya"

"With an unbeatable location on Barcelona's most stylish boulevard, steps from Gaudí's La Pedrera and a stone's throw from the boulevard's swankiest shops, this hotel is a near-perfect place to stay"

"The restaurant serves a morning breakfast buffet and evening tapas; the bar offers live piano music; and the business center has free internet"

"The rooftop swimming pool has views of the Sagrada Família and the Barcelona cityscape"

"The swimming pool and cocktail bar, both located on the rooftop, offer visitors views of the city, and the hotel’s services include a luxury spa, a multilingual staff, on-call medical staff, and babysitting services upon request"

"Sip a glass of cold champagne while gazing at the skyline and its architectural gems before heading off to experience Barcelona's famous nightlife"

"Entertaining evenings may be spent at Las Ramblas, a 10-minute walk away, or at the hotel’s rooftop bar—the Antonio Obrador -designed La Dolce Vitae—where guests sip cocktails and DJs spin bossa nova tunes"

"Hallways and common areas are decorated with pieces from their personal art collection and the hotel embraces its spot on the fashionable street with a Chanel boutique adjacent to the lobby and a fashion tea in El Bar, where shoppers and hotel guests can sample éclairs designed by the likes of Jimmy Choo"

"• The rooftop bar La Dolce Vitae offers a list of traditional tapas dishes like Iberian ham, Catalan bread with tomato, oysters and artisan burrata"
