Fodor's Expert Review SixtyTwo Hotel
Passeig de Gràcia 62, 08007, Spain
Across from Gaudí's Casa Batlló and just down Passeig de Gràcia from his Casa Milà (La Pedrera), this boutique hotel is surrounded by Barcelona's top shopping addresses and leading restaurants. The Moderniste facade and interiors dating from 1897 provide a bold contrast with the Philippe Starck, Mooi, B&B, and Vitra interior details. Rooms display a purity of line and sleek minimalism as the reigning aesthetic principles, with a monochromatic palette of white and gray; the sofas can be made up as extra beds. Higher-priced junior suites on the first and fifth floors have private terraces; the fifth-floor rooms are a lot quieter. A good buffet breakfast is served in the lounge, one flight up from the lobby.
