The house
HyattRestyled corporate tower
The 1970s tower runs as a polished uptown hub, giving business travelers and weekenders a quiet alternative to downtown.
What it’s good at
Notable
An extensive subterranean thermal circuit with ice cabins and Natura Bissé treatments.
Listed
Dedicated concierge guidance, an eighteenth-floor club lounge, and panoramic upper-floor suites.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Set on the 15th floor and up, the spacious 430-square-foot Junior Suites are worth the splurge, with their massive bathrooms featuring free-standing tubs and walk-in showers big enough for two or more.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Avinguda Diagonal runs right outside in quiet Les Corts, with Pedralbes Park and Camp Nou stadium close by.

The rooms
Higher floors bring splashes of teal and views that stretch across Barcelona to the Mediterranean.
The outdoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The seasonal outdoor pool sits amid garden greenery, lined with turquoise loungers and served by its own bar.
The hydrotherapy pool
The indoor hydrotherapy pool looks onto a garden courtyard through floor-to-ceiling glass, fitted with hydromassage jets.
The gym
Cardio machines and strength stations line the 24-hour gym, backed by a geometric tile accent wall.
At the table
Maymanta serves Peruvian plates from the nineteenth-floor rooftop, and Sofia Bar pours cocktails beneath an illuminated drum canopy.
How it began
The tower opened in 1975 as the Hotel Princesa Sofía, named in tribute to the future queen of Spain.
