H10 Madison

The Spanish H10 chain has more than a dozen mid-range hotels across the city, but this one has the best setting. On the border of Barri Gòtic and El Born between the cathedral and the Palau de la Música Catalana, it occupies an early 20th century building tastefully restored with contemporary interiors. Standard rooms, decorated in a calm, neutral palette, measure a comfortable 237 square feet. What the hotel lacks in character, it makes up for with its spacious seventh-floor roof terrace with heated plunge pool and great views of the cathedral’s Gothic spires.
