Barcelona through the Eyes of ME

With a plum location in the upscale Passeig de Gràcia, a few stops from the city-centre Plaça Catalunya and La Rambla, as well as just 25 minutes from the airport, this sparkling new property aims to show you an exclusive side of Barcelona you won’t have seen before no matter how many times you’ve visited, through unique artistic, cultural and culinary experiences including private visits.

It also has its own Cultural Programme bringing the city’s most creative minds to the hotel to showcase the best in contemporary entertainment: the like of live happenings, audiovisual exhibitions and partnerships with globally famous events.

Dining at ME Barcelona

As well as being beautifully sited for the rest of Barcelona’s incredible array of restaurants, the hotel has two sustainable Mediterranean restaurants using tomatoes and other fresh organic produce from its own 2,500m2 of urban gardens complete with terraces and fruit trees.

The first restaurant, Belbo, brings together a stunning art collection with urban greenery and delicious cuisine embracing the flavours of the south of Spain, Italy and Morocco in the likes of fish brochettes, paella and couscous, accompanied by tunes from a resident DJ. The flagship restaurant Errenal, serving contemporary healthy Mediterranean cuisine, also has a vast garden for alfresco dining in the sunshine. Lastly, Fasto serves classic and innovative Italian cuisine, similarly accompanied by a resident DJ: think antipasti, carpaccio, ‘zoodles’ and wood-fired pizzas, including vegan versions.

There’s also a fabulous rooftop bar with heavenly views of the Sagrada Familia and bustling Plaça Catalunya, plus a cosy fireplace to snuggle up to in the winter months.

Relaxing at ME Barcelona

A holistic spa with exclusive, tailored treatments melding ancient traditions and state—of-the-art  techniques, a hi-tech gym and yoga sessions out on the terrace mean there’s no excuse to kick back and indulge yourself or work on your fitness after enjoying your cultural sorties. Alternatively, a yoga teacher or private instructor can come to your room or suite for a bespoke session. The cherry on the cake is the eighth-floor rooftop pool with its skyline and sunset views.
