Hotel Boutique Mirlo Barcelona
From
326.7 €
“Outdoor pool in an 800 m² garden with plunging views over the city, open April to October.”
L'Hotel Boutique Mirlo Barcelona occupies a 1920s villa on the Avinguda del Tibidabo, halfway between the centre and the mountain. We sleep in just 15 rooms, all different, with oak parquet, velvet headboards and white marble bathrooms. The outdoor pool overlooks Barcelona, surrounded by palms and teak sun loungers, we linger there for hours. The spa offers massages and treatments in two cosy cabins, dim lighting, Catalan essential oils. Service is attentive without being intrusive, we feel like guests of wealthy friends. From 326,7 € a night, a rate justified by the intimacy of the place and the 9,5/10 score on 860 reviews. We recommend for a weekend off the tourist trail ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend Mirlo to couples in their thirties and up seeking a discreet address far from the Rambla. It's a hotel for romantic weekends, discreet anniversaries, travellers who prefer residential calm to Gothic bustle. Families find their place thanks to spacious rooms and the garden, but the atmosphere remains adult.
