Background
About Serras Barcelona

On the food side there's Agreste Mar in-house, plus Informal, which holds a Repsol Recomendado. Up top there's a rooftop pool, and there's a signature bar too.

Restaurants in the hotel
Serras runs two restaurants: Agreste Mar, serving Italian-Catalan plates, and Informal, chef Marc Gascons's tapas-led Mediterranean kitchen, which carries a Repsol Recomendado.

Between the two restaurants, the bar and the rooftop, there's a full spread of options without leaving the hotel.
