$$$$, Diagonal
Fodor's Review:
This skyscraper is an exciting commercial complex as well as a luxury hotel, with sleek, contemporary rooms. Glass elevators whip up and down the space ship-like atrium. Here you can buy jewelry, furs, art, fashions, flowers, caviar, and even limousines. The lush garden, which includes a pond with swans, has an Olympic-size swimming pool, and the green expanses of Barcelona's finest in-town country club, El Polo, spread like a verdant blanket. There are two restaurants: Chez Vous serves French cuisine, and Café Polo has a sumptuous buffet as well as an American bar. Pros: 10 minutes from the airport, supremely comfortable and complete, various restaurants and everything you might need without ever leaving the hotel, polished and attentive service. Con: well removed (at least 20 minutes by taxi) from all of Barcelona's main sites.
