The Restaurant at Hotel Banke Opera, Autograph Collection

"The hotel's two restaurants each possess its own studied ambiance and menu: Glitzy Josefin bistro serves upscale Mediterranean fare, and the more refined Banke serves a more gastronomic menu geared toward the business crowd"

"The Josefin restaurant serves fine Catalan food with a small choice of excellent Spanish wines"

"Cocktails and tapas are served in the comfy Lolabar, and the private Banke Restaurant is perfect for corporate gatherings"

"The stunning round glass-domed lobby of the 94-room hotel has a decor that recalls a lush Proustian bordello with vermilion walls, an original mosaic floor, a long gold-leather sofa, and low lighting in the adjacent bar, restaurant, and reception area, and it’s ringed by an elegant mezzanine gallery"

"The hotel features a beautiful lobby and a stylish restaurant and bar"

"Just off this lobby, the Josephin Restaurant provides an authentic Spanish-inspired menu that pleases Parisians and guests alike, offering everything from Catalan cod to arroz a banda in an almost Gothic setting of traditional leather chairs and serpentine gold banquettes set on the wooden floor under candelabras wrapped in translucent cylindrical shades"
