[L, A+D] Travel: Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Barcelona (Spain)


Planning a (non-budget) trip to Barcelona? Consider staying at the Mandarin Oriental Barcelona. The Mandarin Oriental Barcelona is part of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group and opened in 2009. The hotel is located in the centre of the city in a 20th-century former bank building.

Spanish architect Patricia Urquiola is responsible for the interior decor of the 98-room hotel. Urquiola is best known for her prolific career in designing clean-lined furniture and accessories for brands such as B&B Italia, Alessi, Foscarini, and Capellini. At Mandarin Oriental Barcelona she has created timeless elegance by using a lot of white, and by applying a Scandinavian touch.

I'm totally in love with Urquiola's style. If you are too, visit the hotel's website and book yourself a visit!
