"This converted bank building is located on one of Barcelona's trendiest walkways and is situated close to designer shops, high quality restaurants and is just a short walk from the downtown core. From its chill out Mimosa Garden with its Lebanese cuisine, to the 9th floor wading pool, to the trendy Banker's Bar where you can actually see the old metal security boxes embedded into the walls, the Mandarin has infinite places to spend time before or after a long day visiting the sights. They are also one of the only hotels in the city that offers daily tea time in the main lobby at 4pm (proper, English style tea time)."

"A luxuriously appointed hotel located in a former bank amid the glorious Modernista façades of Passeig de Gràcia. The selection of restaurants and bars is particularly fine, from a rooftop Peruvian cocktail bar to a tasting menu overseen by a triple-starred chef. The facilities are top notch, from the rooftop pool all the way down to the expertly staffed spa and indoor pool in the basement."

"The Mandarin Oriental Barcelona is in a prime location for exploring Barcelona’s retailers: Passeig de Grácia, where the hotel sits, is packed with designer shops like Valentino, Prada and Louis Vuitton.

For those who cannot have sugar or are avoiding it, Gelaaaati Di Marco is a good choice, since they offer options with a very low level of it. Pay a visit to this venue and admire the beautiful works of art that are each of their ice creams."
