Poolside pauses in central Barcelona
Sightseeing can be thirsty work, especially in Barcelona. Enter Petit Palace Eixample, where an outdoor pool and Jacuzzi are waiting when you’ve finished putting your step count through its paces. Fully renovated in 2024, this four-star boutique hotel sits on Gran Via in the Eixample, placing some of the city’s biggest hitters comfortably within walking distance.
Plaça de Catalunya, Passeig de Gràcia and Las Ramblas are all easy to reach, while the surrounding Eixample streets serve up their own tempting mix of Modernist architecture, boutiques, cafés, tapas bars and restaurants. When Barcelona’s pavement pounding has done its worst, retreat to the hotel’s outdoor pool, bubble away in the Jacuzzi or claim a lounger on the sun terrace.
Mornings start with a generous buffet breakfast, featuring pastries, artisan breads, fruit, cheeses, cold cuts and hot dishes. There’s no lunch or dinner restaurant here, but that hardly feels like a hardship in this neighbourhood, with a huge choice of places to eat nearby. Barcelona does dinner rather well, after all.
