Hotel Brummell
Slightly off the beaten track, this hip and friendly boutique hotel is actually in Poble Sec, at the far end of Carrer de Nou de la Rambla that cuts through Raval. The nearest Metro station—a 10-minute walk—will take you to the center of things (and the foot of Les Rambles) in one stop, but it’s a great place to escape the bustle of the city. Spacious decks out back offer sun beds, a small pool, and a vegetable patch. A help-yourself breakfast bar in the lobby features fresh fruit and home-baked pastries, plus eggs and sausages on demand. In the evening it doubles as an honesty bar. The guest rooms exhibit impeccable taste, with space-saving open wardrobes, and contemporary art on the walls. A small shop in the lobby curates a selection of quirky design items from around Barcelona. Saunas, massages, and yoga are available (just ask).
