"Set back from the road facing the Port Vell marina and out to sea, this waterfront hotel has a laid-back tone set by the subtle background jazz playing in the airy lobby. “We didn’t want to be black and white and modern, nor just a classic hotel,” says general manager Antonio Bignone. “Instead we tried to play with wooden textures and Mediterranean colours.” The result is an artful accomplishment, with interiors by designer Eva Martínez and vast beds kitted out with comfortable Hypnos mattresses. The downstairs restaurant is run by Marc Gascons and prepped in an open kitchen overseen by a quiet mezzanine."
