Background
About Mercer Hotel Barcelona
Mercer Hotel Barcelona is built into part of the Roman wall of Barcino in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, with medieval arches still woven through it, redesigned by the architect Rafael Moneo. It's a small, independent hotel, just 28 rooms. It holds a Michelin Key, has a rooftop pool and a signature bar, and picked up a Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice Best of the Best Hotels award in 2026.
Dining
Restaurants in the hotel
Mercer Restaurant is the anchor, chef Xavier Lahuerta's cooking built around local ingredients, served in a refined dining room inside the historic building. Beyond it, the hotel runs Mercer Breakfast, El Patio, Le Bouchon, a cocktail bar, and a terrace, so there's a spread of spaces for a meal, coffee, or a drink through the day rather than one single restaurant. Food and drink here happen inside the medieval structure itself, arches and Roman wall included, not a bolted-on hotel restaurant.

Location
Where Mercer Hotel Barcelona is
Mercer Hotel Barcelona sits on Carrer dels Lledó in the Gothic Quarter, built into part of the Roman wall of Barcino, just a few yards from Barcelona Cathedral. The hotel's own site places it within walking distance of the Born neighbourhood, La Rambla, the Picasso Museum, Palau de la Música, and Boqueria Market, so you're inside the oldest, densest part of the city, steps from its main sights rather than needing transport to reach them. At just 28 rooms, it's an intimate stay in a historic setting.
Carrer Lledó 7, 08002, Barcelona
