Explore the numerous architectural masterpieces of Antoni Gaudi, known for his pioneering modernist designs. Gaudí’s extraordinary temple dedicated to the Holy Family, the Sagrada Familia, also known as the world’s largest unfinished church, is a must-see in Barcelona. Visit Casa Batlló, a breathtaking monument to nature that was once the private residence of textile industrialist Josep Batlló. Batlló commissioned Gaudi to build his house after seeing Gaudi’s Park Güell. Park Güell is Gaudi’s fantastical mosaic landscape which rests upon Carmel Hill. Home to Barcelona’s famous mosaic lizard, this grand park is definitely worth a stroll.

Visit the Picasso Museum, just a short walk from the hotel. The museum is spread across five palaces, with the main entrance featuring a spacious courtyard surrounded by Gothic archways. Upstairs, guests are greeted with lavishly decorated rooms with painted ceilings and chandeliers dripping in crystals. Picasso’s journey from classically trained painter to Cubist pioneer is chronologically displayed, allowing visitors to gain a thorough understanding of his artistic evolution.

Explore the Gothic Quarter which encompasses the oldest parts of Barcelona. Stretching from Las Ramblas to Via Laietana, the quarter is made up of narrow medieval streets lined with trendy bars, exceptional artisans, and delicious restaurants. The quarter is also home to The Museu d'Història de Barcelona, which houses a wealth of Roman ruins from a wine factory to a cloth dyeing shop.
