Spanish Lullaby
Perched high above the city on Tibidabo Hill, the Gran Hotel La Florida once served as a military hospital during the civil war and then as a hang-out for the jet-set in the 1950s, before being fully restored and becoming the fabulous hotel it is today. Rising out of the surrounding greenery are the hotel's iconic white towers, which stand like soldiers watching over the city. Outside, dozens of striking red sun-loungers lay across tiered wooden terraces and a shimmering blue infinity pool offers swimmers panoramic views of the Mediterranean, while inside dozens of high-end sculptures and sleek pieces of furniture dot the marble lobby. Comprising 70 well-appointed rooms and suites - the best of which are designed by internationally renowned artists and come with their own Jacuzzis and balconies - a Michelin-worthy restaurant serving exceptional Catalan cuisine, a well-stocked wine cellar and fully-equipped fitness suite, the hotel caters to every interest. Guests who like to pamper themselves will also be pleased to discover that there's an on-site spa, too, replete with saunas, steam baths and treatment rooms. At the very forefront of contemporary hospitality, the Gran Hotel La Florida has it all.
