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

I love Patricia Urquiola's work, and this is a great example of why. it's intelligent, interesting, but never over-thought.
And since my chances making to Barcelona in the near future are dependent in my sprouting wings and flying, I won't likely see this hotel in person for some time. Thanks so much for sharing this great pictures!

The security guards would have to come and drag me away from that roof top after I had been trying to spend the night there!
Hope your summer is going great.
I am hopping to Sweden on Tuesday. So excited!
