Hotel Brummell

"One of only a few hotels set in one of the city’s bustling residential neighborhoods, there’s a distinctly authentic feel about Hotel Brummell. From the urban design of the lobby to the locals sipping café con leche on the window bench, Hotel Brummell is Barcelona through and through. While the Poolside Standard is an excellent option for budget travelers, we can’t resist the Brummell Penthouse. There are two of these, situated at the very top of the hotel, each featuring its own private outdoor bathtub and terrace, and a spectacular bedside view across the city. For all things food, Brummell works with Istanbul-born Seyma Ozkaya Erpul, the woman behind local favorites Funky Bakery and Funky Eatery. Ozkaya has set up her own in-hotel bakery from where she distributes sweet and savory danishes, babkas, boreks, and the highly addictive and ultra-cheesy Basque cheesecake." - Gemma Askham, Isabelle Kliger
