Seldom do you stay at a place where every centimetre is stylish and cool, but that’s what we’re dealing with here. Housed in an elegant apartment building dating from 1869, it is located in the trendy l’Eixample neighbourhood, which is pleasingly central yet away from the tourism hotspots. The hip, buzzing lobby bar offers inventive cocktails and sometimes an evening DJ, and there’s a characterful tapas restaurant as well as summer barbecues on the lovely roof terrace. The delightful guest rooms have a Mediterranean feel with Catalonian touches. The use of lots of natural materials, the retention of original encaustic floor tiles, and the abundance of natural light from the big windows plus uber-tasteful decor with bursts of colour ensure this is an uplifting place to stay.

Enter Casa Bonay, a hotel made for the people of Barcelona. It's the opposite end of the spectrum from the walled luxury of brands such as W, Mandarin Oriental and Renaissance that have sprouted here in the past decade to accommodate swelling tourist numbers of almost 10 million a year.
