Mandarin Oriental Barcelona

Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona offers a prestigious address for executive gatherings on Barcelona's famed Passeig de Grí cia. The 88 guest rooms and suites face out toward Antoni Gaudí­'s landmark Casa Batlló across the street or focus in on a peaceful landscaped garden.

The high-fashion, avant-garde interiors occupy a former mid-twentieth-century bank now capped by a terrace, sundeck, and dipping pool—flanked by 360-degree views of one of the world's most fascinating cities. Downstairs, a spacious meeting lobby serves two conference rooms, Montujuí¯c and Tibidado, which stage events for up to 40 delegates each or divide for meetings of up to 18. Added pleasures range from a spa, fitness center, and indoor pool to refreshments and dining in a choice of five stylish settings, including Michelin three-star chef Carme Ruscalleda's celebrated Moments restaurant.
