Mr & Mrs Smith

The only thing that can improve a two Michelin-starred restaurant in Barcelona is not having to go home after dining. At ABaC Restaurant & Hotel you don’t have to – head straight from sampling seven-course-tasting menu to your white and gleaming bedroom, or down to the equally pristine subterranean spa.
