Alma Barcelona

Hotel details

The Alma hotel in Barcelona is everything a guest visiting this entrancing city could need. Just 20 minutes from the old town, this delightful establishment is the ideal hopping-off point for some truly excellent restaurant and shopping possibilities and just a stone’s throw from two iconic Gaudi buildings, the La Pedrera and the Casa Batllo. Coupled with great service, a delightful spa and a magical garden space, the Alma offers luxury at its finest.

Style-wise, the hotel is strikingly modern, with a twist of classic design here and there. This design extends to the hotel’s rooms, which you enter with finger print scanners only to be greeted by lovely corniced ceilings, and, in some cases, panoramic views of the beautiful garden. Neutral colours, soft mood lighting and a complimentary mini-bar help create a very relaxing ambience here, as do the generously proportioned white marble bathrooms.

When they are not enjoying all that the rooms have to offer, guests can avail themselves of an indoor pool, a state-of-the-art gym or simply lounge around on the hotel’s rooftop sundeck, enjoying spectacular views of Barcelona.

The hotel’s ‘Jardín del Alma’ restaurant serves superb Mediterranean dishes, which can be taken al fresco at a garden table. Memorable dishes include the slow roasted leg of kid goat with glazed baby onions and potato puree.

Adjacent to the restaurant is the hotel’s outdoor cocktail bar, which offers guests the opportunity to end a glorious Spanish evening enjoying the evening sun, while sampling such delights as the Alma’s trademark kiwi Bellini.
