Neri Hotel & Restaurante

Barcelona, Spain[view map]

Style: 18th-century palace
Setting: Shady square by the cathedral

This super-sexy stay is housed in an 18th-century palace, with an extremely dramatic interior that combines Gothic architecture with super-modern flourishes. It is contemporary – not in a minimalist way – but with the original features preserved and presented in a cutting-edge context. There are mad pieces of art dotted about on exposed brickwork, and gilded mirrors hang on stone walls.
