Most Barcelona hotels sit in the thick of the city, while METT Barcelona floats above it. Perched atop Tibidabo, the city's highest hill, this reimagined 1925 landmark trades the city buzz for wide, panoramic terraces with sweeping views stretching from the Mediterranean to the mountains. Each guest room and suite is filled with natural light filtered through floor-to-ceiling windows.
And, when the city calls, the Gothic Quarter, Park Güell, and Casa Batlló are all just a short ride down the hill. Feeling more like a homebody? Next door, guests will find the Basílica del Sagrat Cor, a majestic golden hour view.

Now's your chance!
Recently crowned London's 2026 Hotel of the Year according to The Times, The Newman's fresh and funky style brings a new take to London. Beneath this sleek Fitzrovia hotel, the Gambit Bar is a moody low-lit lounge inspired by the neighborhood's bohemian past, where expertly shaken cocktails meet London craft beers and a small stage keeps the evening going. Live music rotates from unplugged singer-songwriter sets to genre-spanning resident DJs, so no two nights will sound the same. This is the city escape that brings the city spunk right to your hotel room.
