One MICHELIN KeyMICHELIN · Forbes Four-Star · Forbes
The verdict

More to do before bed than any other splurge here. One MICHELIN Key, a Forbes Four-Star, a Family Pool and an adults-only Gehry Pool, a 4th-floor spa and Enoteca Paco Pérez, which the hotel says holds two MICHELIN stars.

It's on the other side of the old town from the ship. Our routing gives about 3.1 road miles to the Moll Adossat, around 9 minutes on empty roads, and no shuttle is published.

Parking is €60.50 (about US$70) a day, self or valet, or €10 (about US$11) an hour. Pets aren't allowed, and breakfast isn't on the page we read.

Book it for a pool afternoon and a long dinner, then a taxi round the waterfront in the morning.

Book it if

  • You want a pool afternoon before the ship — there are two
  • Dinner at Enoteca Paco Pérez is the point of the night
  • A MICHELIN Key matters to you

Look elsewhere if

  • You're travelling with a pet.
  • You want parking for less than €60.50 a day.
  • You want the ship close in the morning.

Pins from the Esri World Geocoder’s address and place points; Barceló Sants sits at Wikipedia’s point for Sants station, H10 Montcada at a Via Laietana street point, and El Palace isn’t pinned. The Moll Adossat pin is the Terminal B point, not a measured gate.
