Thoughtfully expanded from its origins, the cosy-chic Five Rooms now hosts 12 rooms across a turn-of-the-century building on the southern edge of L’Eixample. Each minimal-design room is different (some with balconies), but all have open-brick walls, soothing tones, firm beds, restored tiles and stylish bathrooms. Breakfast is served in a book-lined lounge. Two kitchen-equipped, four-person apartments await just down the street.
