Background
About Almanac Barcelona
Almanac runs 91 rooms on Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, right in the Eixample, and it's independent. The accolades are solid: Condé Nast Traveler readers voted it the #3 best hotel in Spain in 2024, it holds one Michelin Key, and it's a Virtuoso member. On the food side there's Virens, which is Michelin Selected. Up top there's a rooftop pool, plus a spa and a signature bar downstairs. It's a polished, central base without the heritage-mansion baggage some of its neighbours carry.
Dining
Restaurants in the hotel
Virens, the in-house restaurant, is Michelin-Selected and Repsol recommended, run by chef Rodrigo de la Calle with plant-forward Mediterranean cooking and tasting menus priced from €70 to €105 per person. Up top, Azimuth Rooftop Bar pours signature cocktails with city views, and Virens Bar offers a more casual, gourmet menu downstairs. Breakfast is served on site too, and the hotel's own site is clear that food and drink are a central part of the stay, not an afterthought.
