Casa Bonay

"Snag, if you can, one of the five Courtyard Large Terrace rooms at this renovated modernist mansion downtown—you can treat yourself to a private terrace, outdoor shower, hammock, and lots of direct sunlight for an affordable rate. Though the service at Casa Bonay can be spotty at times, the excellent bars are still worth a visit for stiff drinks and friendly locals. The best rooms in the house are the Courtyard Large Terrace rooms. There are five in total, each with private terraces, outdoor showers, hammocks, and plenty of that beautiful Spanish sunlight. The only drawback is that the rest of the hotel overlooks you, so the terrace isn't very secluded. Perfectionists will spot small signs of wear and tear creeping into that new-hotel gloss, but original hydraulic floor tiles (with wild geometric patterns) and statement sliding doors keep design buffs focusing on the wows." - Gemma Askham, Isabelle Kliger

"Boutique hotel offering a local experience with tastefully designed rooms and various eateries." - The MICHELIN Guide

"A hip hotel with an in-house coffee shop sourcing beans from a local roaster. Each room has geometric tile flooring and blankets from Teixidors. Features a lively lobby, cocktail bar, rooftop restaurant, and guest-only space with sunbeds and outdoor showers." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"When you arrive at Casa Bonay, if there’s one thing the team here will impress upon you, it’s that this hotel was a community effort. From the furniture to the blankets to the soap, this is Barcelona — and Catalan culture — on full display." - Mark Fedeli
