Restaurants in the hotel
Contraban is the in-house restaurant, run by chef Alain Guiard, serving contemporary cooking built around tasting menus and an ephemeral list of local wines. It's Michelin Selected, and runs through the day in the same space: breakfast, a weekend brunch, an all-day menu, then dinner. There's a signature bar downstairs, and up on the roof, the Sobreático terrace pours drinks with views over the Gothic Quarter and the Mediterranean beyond.

Location
Where Wittmore Hotel is
The Wittmore sits on Carrer Riudarenes, a narrow lane tucked into the Gothic Quarter. It's a quiet corner of Ciutat Vella, the kind of address that puts you inside the old city's tangle of stone streets rather than on a main thoroughfare. The hotel's courtyard holds what the property calls Barcelona's largest vertical garden, and its rooftop terrace, the Sobreático, looks out toward the Mediterranean and back over the Gothic Quarter's rooftops, including the Basílica de la Mercè.
Carrer Riudarenes 7, 08002, Barcelona
