An excellent hotel in a very modern, trendy neighborhood, though a lot of new construction is still going on, which made the trip to the nearest metro station a bit of a slog. The Rambla Poblenou, leading down to the beach, is about a 15 minute walk away. There are a lot of excellent restaurants and bars nearby, but I highly recommend the Andrea cafe, right next door. Very casual, popular with locals and excellent paella. Finally, the rooftop pool area is beautiful but it was closed for much of my stay due to the rain. Will definitely check it out next time!
