Margot House

In the thick of L'Eixample, this elegant, intimate, supremely peaceful nine-room designer bolthole is styled in fresh minimalist whites and natural woods. Textiles, lamps and furniture come from Catalan designers, while Aesop toiletries grace the sleek bathrooms; the four light-bathed suites overlook Passeig de Gràcia, with freestanding tubs. The book-filled lounge has coffee and an honesty bar; there's a fabulous gourmet breakfast.
