Spain: Almanac Barcelona
A Design Forward Address Steps from Passeig de Gracia
Set inside a restored nineteenth century building in the Eixample Dreta, Almanac Barcelona pairs old Barcelona bones with a distinctly current sensibility. Local designer Jaime Beriestain led the interiors, threading Art Deco lines and mid century warmth through 91 rooms and suites, so the effect feels more like a beautifully appointed residence than a typical five star stay. Custom Austrian beds, marble bathrooms, and, in select suites, private terraces with fire pits, round out a property built for guests who want quiet luxury with real personality.
The rooftop is where the hotel really comes alive. Eight floors up, an intimate plunge pool sits alongside the Azimuth Rooftop Bar, where sunset cocktails and skyline views over Barcelona draw both guests and locals. Downstairs, Virens restaurant, led by Michelin starred chef Rodrigo de la Calle, turns out plant forward, produce driven dishes with a distinctly Mediterranean accent, a rare find among the city's grand dame hotels. Just steps from Passeig de Gracia's shopping and the Sagrada Familia beyond, the location puts Gaudi's Barcelona, Gothic Quarter wandering, and Eixample's tapas bars all within easy reach.
