Hotel Neri is the perfect example of marrying a hotel with an historical building while still maintaining the charm and integrity of the structure. Thus the feeling of being at the heart of the Gothic quarter in what was once the Jewish district is ever present and the uncovering of a Roman site under the hotel, complete with Phoenician ceramics is a key part of the hotel's evolution.
This Relais & Chateaux member boasts just 22 rooms and yet houses a gastronomic restaurant famed for its avant-garde Spanish cuisine. The rooftop terrace is not unusual in Barcelona's many hotels but Hotel Neri's take on an urban garden is truly special. Loungers and hammocks are strewn amongst the foliage and you can expect complete quiet as the hotel is located in a pedestrianised part of the old town.
The design for the rooms and communal spaces is playful and bright with modern art and furniture (the velvet knotted sofa designed by the Campana brother is something to behold) while the historic library is more rustic, with guide books aplenty to feed the imagination for a day of exploring. All in all, Hotel Neri is a real gem, perfect for exploring all that Barcelona has to offer.
