£ ROOM MATE EMMA

Amid Eixample’s elegant streets and Gaudi’s masterpieces on Passeig de Gràcia, RoomMate Emma

stands out from the crowd. Step inside and you’ll find its 56 rooms are similarly striking, like something from a 1960s James Bond set — think white walls, pod-style tables and bold magenta carpets. They’re all geared up for remote working, too, with wi-fi and USB ports. Beds are supremely comfy and the bathroom products come in recycled plastic pump dispensers.

ROOMS: From €119 (£99). room-matehotels.com
