Hotel Ohla Barcelona occupies a 1920s building on Via Laietana, and you'll spot it from the ceramic 'eyes' artist Frederic Amat added to its neoclassical facade. It's independent and runs 74 rooms. The kitchen is the draw: Caelis, in-house, is Michelin-starred. The hotel is a member of both Mr & Mrs Smith and Preferred, and there's a rooftop pool, a spa, and a signature bar.

Caelis, the in-house restaurant, holds one Michelin star and two Repsol Soles under chef Romain Fornell, who opened it in 2004 and earned the star within the first year. The kitchen runs French-influenced Mediterranean cuisine across three tasting menus, including a vegetarian option, plus a weekday lunch menu. Tasting menus start at €135, with the lunch menu at €65.

Hotel Ohla sits on Via Laietana in the Gothic Quarter, in a 1920s building whose neoclassical facade carries ceramic 'eyes' by artist Frederic Amat. The hotel's own site places it between the Palau de la Música and the Cathedral, about three minutes' walk from the Cathedral and five minutes from Las Ramblas and Plaça Catalunya. That puts it inside the thick of the old town's main sights, walkable to the Cathedral and Las Ramblas alike.
