Serras Barcelona
Wow! This 5-star boutique hotel with a Michelin-starred restaurant and a rooftop infinity pool with an ideal location next to the sea in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter does have it all. It’s also where Picasso started his career. We love that rooms have private balconies, but some are a little snug.

Hotel Brummell
This charming 20-room boutique hotel with an outdoor pool features a pretty garden and a sauna. It’s very close to the Miró Foundation and The Grec Theatre if you fancy some sightseeing before your trip to the America’s Cup. It is intimate and chic but some rooms are a little compact.
