As the flagship for the forward-thinking Almanac hotel brand, Almanac Barcelona carves out a hotel experience conceived for a new generation of travelers. While landmarks such as La Sagrada Familia Basilica and Mount Tibidabo continue to quicken guests’ hearts from the hotel’s Azimuth rooftop bar, with its plunge pool and 360-degree vistas, the hotel gainfully forms a contemporary take on the old city. Think: art and treasures gleaned from local galleries, cutting-edge technology, and custom scents and amenities from perfumer Jimmy Boyd. Head up to the Two-bedroom Penthouse Suite where panoramic windows embrace views of the bustling Gran Via. With two bedrooms, separate marble-sheathed bathrooms, walk-in closets, a sleek living room and a dining room, the suite has room for four occupants. Avail yourselves of the two private terraces, replete with outdoor showers.
