This space is what a perfect hotel-lounge should be.
It’s a cocktail bar, it’s a high quality tea corner and also a cute informal restaurant.
As a part of the cosy hotel CASA BONAY, here people feel just like at home.
At Libertine, you find the perfect place for a casual meeting; a perfect place to spend an after-work drink, or simply a perfect place for a cool “solo” read-time.
During summer they open the roof-top, best during the sunny mornings.

An Autograph collection:
The Cotton House Hotel stands imposingly on the site of the former headquarters of the Cotton Textile Foundation “Fundación Textil Algodonera”, an emblematic 19th-century building in the neoclassical style which is a landmark in the city of Barcelona. Built on the orders of a family of the Catalan bourgeoisie when the textile industry was at its height, it was sold in the middle of the 20th Century to the Cotton Producers Guild which established its headquarters there with the aim of housing the highest possible number of cotton-producing bodies and services: the idea was to create a genuine Cotton House Hotel.
This chic and exclusive boutique hotel, located in the heart of the old Jewish quarter, Hotel Neri Relais & Châteaux is set in two historical and aristocratic houses, being one of them a medieval palace from the XII century. The building’s original period charm has been preserved and enhanced by the hotel’s sophisticated interior design. Its design blends with relaxing music and sensual aromas to create a unique setting in this ancient area of central Barcelona. Also, Hotel Neri is a hotel with terrace, perfect to enjoy the city’s weather.
Set right beside the city’s Cathedral, the Hotel Neri Relais & Châteaux lies just a short distance from the bustling Las Ramblas, la Boqueria market, the Picasso museum… Is the perfect place to discover Barcelona.
The Hotel Neri Relais & Châteaux has been awarded with the distinction of Hotel Monument, a specialization of Barcelona’s Hotels Association which recognizes hotels that add value to the heritage of the city.
Besides, Hotel Neri is the only hotel Relais & Châteaux in Barcelona, which makes it even more special and unique.
LE CUCINE MANDAROSSO
Few places have as much charm as this little spot in Born. The food is amazing, very fresh and tasty.
The location is tricky, a small corner in the laberinthyc area of Born, just a few steps from the modernist masterpiece “Palau de la Musica”.

Here comes a recommendation from someone who lives in Barcelona…
…(the writer of this tip).
VINITUS is arguably one of the best choices in terms of fine quality/price & surely one of the coolest tapas-bar in Barcelona. The only (sometimes big) draw-back is that they don’t accept reservations and they might die from a rapid high demmand. Sofar they stand on very high quality for very affordable cost. So still a great spot.
(Ps. Don’t miss the small tapa of marinated sardine,exquissite!).

A high quality japanese restaurant in Barcelona with a smooth brasilian touch; (not to forget that Sao Paulo in Brasil accomodates the second largest japanese population outside Japan)…
Intimate & trendy atmosphere in a very tiny space, Nakashita stands out from the crowd of usual sushi restaurants in Barcelona thanks to the creativity of his owner and the extremely fresh & tasty fish.
We recommed to sit at the bar, right in front of Marcio (the owner). He is a great host, and knows very well how to treat his guests.
