Less than 10 minutes’ walk from Las Ramblas and the Gothic Quarter, this 19th-century former textiles factory has been given a new lease of life as buzzing place to stay. There’s a relaxed, party vibe with a shuffleboard table and photo booth in the lounge and a subtle New York feel to the rooms, with white walls and deluxe white cotton bedding. Yoga mats, eco-friendly bathroom products and recycled cardboard clothes hangers are all a given. There’s also a vegan spa, a rooftop terrace with plunge-pool and bar, and don’t miss the delicious breakfast buffet.
