Mandarin Oriental Barcelona

Mandarin Oriental Barcelona, the Mandarin Oriental’s first luxury hotel in Southern Europe located in the chic and central boulevard of Passeig de Gràcia, conveniently close to many of Barcelona ‘s shopping and dining venues. I thought it would be only good to see some pictures of its beautiful interior. The 120 rooms and suites hotel offers a spa and five restaurants and bars.
The Mandarine Oriental Barcelona was named “Best City Hotel in 2011 by Tatler Travel Guide.  This elegant building that previously used to house a bank comes alive with a full revival and beautiful interior design by Spanish designer, Patricia Urquiola.  Urquiola is a Spanian designer who lives and works in Milan, Italy.  She has been named “Designer of the decade for the German magazines “Home” and “Hauser”.   See more of this beautiful hotel on their website.  An exceptional hotel for the descriminating tourists.

The hotel shares the street with modernist masterpieces by architects Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Domènech I Montaner

The hotel has “quickly solidified its status at the luxury hotel of choice amongst locals and discriminating tourists alike.” Forbes.

“Yes, the hotel is certainly spacious (almost museum-like at some points), but it’s the seamlessly spotless service and sublime, serene vibe that helps you shake off the hustle and bustle of Barcelona and drop your shoulders a bit. This hotel is well-suited for the discriminating traveler who’s accustomed to a certain level of service that only comes with an established brand like Mandarin Oriental, but also requires discretion and privacy.”  Forbes
