The only hotel on Montjuïc is a designer five-star job. Local architect Oscar Tusquets took the shell of a building built for the 1929 World Fair and later the Barcelona HQ of Spanish national TV (1959–83), and created this hilltop configuration where all rooms have broad balconies and views over the port, city or park.
Modern rooms feature neutral decor, with deep browns, creams and beiges dominating the colour scheme. Minibars come stocked with gourmet products. Although you're far from the action, there's plenty of distraction on hand, including restaurants, cafe terraces, a spa and two pools (one indoor, one outdoor; the latter is open May to October).
