Bar To Try #1: Hotel Duquesa de Cardona's Brisa del Mar

What the Experts Say: “Enclosed by glass walls on the 24th floor, this starkly minimal space has fabulous views over the city's New Technology district in Poblenou, and makes a cool stopping-off point before dinner at the hotel's gourmet restaurant, Dos Cielos.”
Bar To Try #3: W Barcelona
Why Try It? This bar turns into a party by midnight, and it's cleverly designed to give you great views.

Hotel Miramar Barcelona: Opened in 1929, the Hotel Miramar Barcelona has entranced guests for the better part of a decade. Enjoy views of the Mediterranean from your private balcony, take in the modern furnishings and picture windows, and catch the details added and refined by a 2006 renovation.
