"There is a reason why Mandarin Oriental Barcelona figures year after year not only on lists of the best hotels in Barcelona, Spain, but in the world. Every detail is absolutely flawless, from the friendly doormen to the impeccable lobby. Michelin-starred cuisine, light-filled rooms and suites, a luxurious spa and gym, and a lovely rooftop plunge pool all round out the experience at this totally-worth-the-splurge grande dame. Rooms at Mandarin Oriental have a new look following a pandemic-era glowup. Bright and colorful, the new palette blends all the hues of the Mediterranean, from the elegant teal headboards to the snug terracotta armchairs. The Deluxe Garden room is the most affordable in the house, which—given that this is the Mandarin Oriental—means $600 and up. Despite being on the smaller side (starting from 345 square feet), the room is flooded with light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows." - Gemma Askham, Isabelle Kliger
"Contemporary design and Corian bathrooms characterize this five-star hotel. It features high-end prices, stylish rooms with balcony views, a suite with a terrace and hot tub, and the acclaimed restaurant Moments helmed by Catalan chef Carme Ruscalleda." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"This austere building from the 1950s was built first as a bank. The monumental entrance, with granite reliefs by Frederic Marès, depicts workers of all sorts — and serves as a sort of allegory for the bank’s foundational importance to the country." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Mandarin Oriental Barcelona combines traditional exteriors with contemporary interiors. Located on Passeig de Gràcia, it offers a serene spa and luxurious rooms designed by Patricia Urquiola.

"The Mandarin Oriental Barcelona hotel (Two MICHELIN Key), located in a former bank on Passeig de Gràcia – the most glamorous shopping avenue in the city – and a few steps from Gaudí's famous modernist works, displays a majestic façade that fits perfectly into its Eixample surroundings." - The MICHELIN Guide
