Locals and travelers mingle over cocktails in the lobby lounge, where an in-house florist fills the room with fresh blooms.

Lobby cocktails at Trotamundos, late-night DJ sets at Salvaje, and weekend live music across three lively venues.
In Ciutat Vella by Plaça de Rodrigo Botet, steps from Plaça de l'Ajuntament and the Central Market.
“a high-end boutique hotel with a bit of architectural history and some public spaces that aim to bring the locals and the guests into direct contact.”
Rooms
Sunlit rooms pair jewel tones with dark wood and brass, while select suites add kitchenettes and balconies overlooking the old town.
“Think deep turquoise-painted wooden wainscotting; subtle marble and gold accents; bright white walls and big windows; velvet sofas.”
Wellness
A 24-hour fitness center handles workouts, alongside a dedicated massage room offering personalized bodywork and in-suite treatments.
“Rooms are cosy but not small, with an urban-elegant décor that mixes jewel tones of blue, red and green with darker wood and brass accents.”
Backstory
Originally opening in 1959 as the landmark Hotel Astoria Palace, the building was completely reimagined as a vibrant lifestyle destination in 2021.
Eat & drink
El Mirador serves traditional paella over 360-degree skyline views, while Salvaje pairs Japanese fusion with nightly DJ sets downstairs.
The neighborhood
Tucked into leafy Plaça de Rodrigo Botet, the hotel puts tapas bars, historic squares, and the Cathedral an easy stroll away.
The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
