Nestled in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, this chic boutique hotel boasts modern comforts and stunning marina views, all wrapped in warm, welcoming service.
"You’ll feel right at home from the moment you walk in this meticulously restored modernist building, in an unbeatable Gothic Quarter location a stone’s throw from the marina. The vibe is laid-back and casual, but the accommodations are seriously comfortable—the Hypnos beds are the same sort favored by the British royal family, so expect to wake up feeling like a prince or princess. Lauded chef Marc Gascons serves Catalonian specialties made from locally sourced products at the hotel's Informal restaurant. Don’t miss the soft gnocchi with truffle in winter, or the shrimp carpaccio in summer. Make time to head up to the Rooftop de Informal terrace, where you can gaze out at the marina from your spot in the pool, cocktail in hand." - Gemma Askham, Isabelle Kliger
"The façade of this building was designed in 1846 by Francesc Daniel Molina, the architect of the city's Plaza Real." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Even against stiff competition, Serras stands out. It’s rare here, or in any city for that matter, to find something that so effortlessly straddles the line between boutique chic and ultra-high-end luxury." - Mark Fedeli
"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."
