Ohla Barcelona is a boutique five-star that punches well above its size, delivering a genuinely intimate luxury experience in one of the city's most atmospheric historic neighbourhoods. The exterior, covered in hundreds of ceramic eyeballs by artist Frederic Amat, is unmistakable.
- Rooms: Just 74 individually designed rooms and suites with bold artwork, excellent Simmons mattresses, and Etro bathroom amenities; several rooms have private terraces.
- Rooftop Pool: A small but perfectly formed rooftop plunge pool and terrace with sweeping Gothic Quarter and sea views is exclusive and rarely crowded.
- Dining: Saüc restaurant has earned Michelin recognition for its inventive Catalan tasting menus.
- Nearby: Barcelona Cathedral (5-min walk), Mercat de la Boqueria (8-min walk), El Born Cultural Centre (8-min walk).
Couples who want genuine luxury without the impersonal scale of a large chain hotel will be happiest here. The intimate atmosphere, personalised service, and Michelin-quality dining make Ohla one of Barcelona's best-kept secrets.
