Hotel El Xalet
In the city center a good 10-minute walk from the beach, the hotel occupies a 1901 Modernisme landmark building designed by architect Gaietà Buigas i Monravà. The ornate stonework, carved trim, fanciful spires, and stained glass in floral motifs reflect the neo-medieval side of Modernisme. The lobby and reception areas are filled with period tile mosaics and marble, while guest rooms feature original details complemented by antique furniture. The two most-sought-after rooms, both for 10-20 percent premium, are a double with terrace and a suite with a balcony. Nicely maintained gardens surround a small pool, and breakfast is served (weather permitting) on a roof terrace. There is also a summer-only restaurant.
