Hotel Amenities
Accommodations
The historic and palatial 1920s Art Deco facade — around which the hotel was built — contrasts with its sleek contemporary interiors. The 75 guestrooms and suites are stylishly decorated with different woods, sophisticated gray furniture, and boldly patterned plush rugs. Step into your bathrobe and slippers after a soak in the designer bathtub with L’Occitane toiletries, pour yourself a glass of champagne, and admire charming views from a guestroom with a private terrace.
Concierge and reception are available 24 hours a day, so you can get help booking tickets to a show or advice on where to find the best tapas bar, whenever you need it. For a memorable event, choose one of the meeting spaces and rest assured that the hotel caterers and event planners will take care of every detail. The glass-enclosed Azulete, which opens up to lush gardens, is a particularly spectacular setting. Newspapers from all over the world are also available.
Dining
The restaurants and bars at Hotel Miramar Barcelona serve fine food alongside equally impressive views. Order cocktails and appetizers by the pool, try fresh fish while viewing the beauty of the harbor, or have your taste buds tantalized by creative Catalan flavors in a sophisticated setting overlooking the gardens.
Studio Miramar – Showcasing the flavors of Catalonia and the Mediterranean, Studio Miramar serves a combination of creative, avant-garde dishes and traditional, market-fresh cuisine. Seasonal menus celebrate the best of local ingredients in dishes such as grilled turbot with Donostia potatoes and tender garlic, and suckling pig confit with fennel couscous. Finish with the mojito soup made with strawberries and red fruits.
Terrace – Bask in the warm Spanish sunshine and order a classic cocktail to accompany the view of the harbor from the hotel terrace.
Lobby Bar – Sink into a comfortable sofa, unwind with a drink, and chat with fellow guests. Large picture windows look out over the hotel gardens and down to the Mediterranean.
Pool Bar – Satisfy your appetite or quench your thirst without leaving your deck chair at the Pool Bar. Try some classic Spanish tapas, a sandwich or salad, or reinvigorate with the Super Detox juice.
Activities at Hotel Miramar Barcelona
Start your day with a refreshing dip in the indoor pool, then head outdoors and find a spot in the sun on a daybed at the other pool. When you’re ready for pampering, book a lavender or almond massage at the Spa By L'Occitane — the fragrances of the essential oils will transport you to Provence. Afterward, warm up in the sauna and Turkish bath, then head to the alfresco Terrace for sea views and cocktails.
Stroll through the many nearby gardens in Montjuïc including Park Mirador del Poble Sec, then jump in a taxi for a short ride to the center of Barcelona. Promenade down the lively Las Ramblas and the winding streets of the Gothic Quarter, then make your way to Gaudí’s world-famous Sagrada Familia. When you return to your hilltop hideaway, explore Montjuïc’s magnificent 17th-century fort, Castell de Montjuïc, and Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya, which has an exceptional collection of 19th- and 20th-century Catalan art.
