A Gothic Quarter hotel built into medieval walls — Roman ruins in the basement, 12th-century arches in the lobby, and the particular luxury of sleeping inside a building that contains two thousand years of Barcelona's history. Rafael Moneo led the restoration, which treats the historical layers as features rather than obstacles: you walk past a Roman wall to reach your room, breakfast beneath a medieval arch, and swim in a rooftop pool that overlooks the Gothic Quarter roofscape. The 28 rooms are intimate and individually designed.
