Murmuri means to murmur in Catalan and, while there’s little grumble about here, being able to do it audibly in the middle of busy Rambla de Catalunya is something of a miracle. This new hotel designed by Nelly Hoppen – better known for BA’s first class cabin and the Beckhams’ LA mansion – is something else.

Three doors lead you variously to the reception, bar or restaurant, where Thai chef Ian Chalermkittichai reveals his love for the city which has kept him from checking in on his businesses in New York more than once a month.

  • It's a Flat World

    Every region has its share of entrepreneurs. Silicon Valley has its high tech wizards, Milan its couturiers, and Nigeria its money transfer-challenged businessmen. Here, meanwhile, there's been no shortage of holiday flat renters.

  • Win a Luxury Boutique Hotel Stay

    Win a two night Barcelona & Discovery package at this luxury boutique hotel. One of our favourite Barcelona hotels, and most certainly our favourite rooftop pool.

  • Disturb, Bitte

    For all the high-end design, the sexual tension is evident from the moment you enter the lobby. Provided along with your room are an array of signs to hang off your door knob, including "Disturb, please." Everyone’s game here, except for the staff. Shame.

  • All Aboard

    Gran Clase used to be neither gran or with clase. Times change, though, and today Renfe is putting its new Talgo Trenhotel into service with larger beds, flat screens, and more luggage space as some of the novelties.

  • For Richer, For Poorer

    There's no denying it: Being married makes perfect financial sense - 1x2 is simply cheaper than 2x1. So put a ring on it, but do it cheaply. Say, by doing away with the party and moving the ceremony directly into the honeymoon.
