A neighbourhood hotel in Poble Sec that treats its location — between Montjuic and the Paral·lel, in a neighbourhood of market workers, artists, and the kind of locals who chose Poble Sec precisely because it is not the Born — as its primary amenity. The rooms are simple and well-designed, the rooftop pool provides Montjuic views, and the hotel runs a programme of yoga, community dinners, and cultural events that embed it in the neighbourhood rather than hovering above it. Hotel Brummell is the kind of independent hotel that makes you consider moving to the neighbourhood it occupies.
