Cool has a home. Welcome to one of the more outstanding design hits in a city that prides itself on the occasional burst of zaniness. Here, the balconies look almost Guggenheimian, with strips of metallic skin peeled back from the shiny surface of the hotel - the sort of idea a latter-day modernista might have had.The entire hotel is minimalism at its most stylish, an ultra-modern fantasy of designer luxury. The combined effect is a rare mix of spaciousness and intimacy. Each design feature serves an overall purpose: unparalleled comfort. The attention to detail is astonishing, from the perfect soft lighting of the lamps to the minutiae of designer ashtrays. Rooms at the front have small balconies whereas those at the back have long terraces, ideal for escaping the frenetic energy of the streets for a bit. Light, clear tones and seductive curves dominate all the rooms, and with nary a handle to be seen - the only dilemma is how to open the minibar. The rooftop terrace has sun lounges, a delightful pool and a bar. Another highlight is the staff, all of whom are friendly with none of the high-brow exclusivity found at some top-end hotels.

One block east, check out some modernista loopiness at the Palau del Baró Quadras. While you're in design mood, go shopping in nearby Vinçon, one of the city's top homewares stores (from the back terrace you get an interesting view of Gaudí's La Pedrera).
