On Montjuïc, Miramar Barcelona occupies a restored 1920s palace overlooking the city, port and Mediterranean. Its rooms and suites are contemporary rather than ornate, with large windows, pale finishes and terraces in selected categories that draw attention towards the hillside setting. Studio Miramar provides the principal restaurant, joined by a bar, spa, indoor and outdoor pools and gardens that step away from the building. The hotel’s position gives it a different rhythm from central Barcelona, with the Joan Miró Foundation, cable car and wooded paths close by.
