Background
About Barceló Raval
Barceló Raval opened in 2008 as part of a regeneration of Barcelona's El Raval district. Designed by CMV Architects, the hotel is an elliptical tower clad in a metal-mesh facade that stands taller than its neighbours along the Rambla del Raval. It operates under the Barceló Hotel Group. The building's signature feature is its 11th-floor 360° terrace, which wraps around the full perimeter of the oval structure and includes a small rooftop pool and solarium with panoramic views over the city. Inside, the B-Lounge serves as the hotel's restaurant and bar.
Dining
Restaurants in the hotel
B-Lounge is the hotel's restaurant and bar, serving Mediterranean food with an international, fusion lean across breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus wine, beer and cocktails. It's set up for groups and takes reservations, so it works as an easy option for a meal without leaving the building. Expect around €25-26 per person. The rooftop terrace's small pool and solarium add a second spot for a drink with a view, above the main restaurant.
