Serenity pervades this luxury oasis, nestled in the heart of the Old City. As one enters the premises of Mercer Barcelona, the sight of various architectural styles from Roman times to the current day, carefully revamped by top architect Rafael Moneo give a warm welcome to the beholder.

Guests staying in the luxury room are provided with an endless array of comforts. Be sure to squeeze in time to enjoy laps in the plunge pool, or to bask in the terrace overlooking facing Barcelona’s wonderful views.

Casual, cosy yet sophisticated at the same damn time — Cocktail Lounge unquestionably is the go-to place when all that day-long revelry, sight-seeing and activities made you tired. The menu spans classic cocktails, Mercer cocktails, a selection of cavas and champagnes, as well as a variety of wines both national and international. On the other hand, the gastrobar Le Bouchon serves traditional tapas, as well as tapas based on the freshest seafood (cockles, mussles, squid, octopus or cod) and a selection of original tapas: Egg with Asparagus, Saffron and Smoked Herring Eggs or Cottage Cheese with Cantabrian Anchovies. And for meat lovers, Le Bouchon serves aged beef with pepper and burrata or the special chef's style aged beef burger. For a more sophisticated dining experience, head to the Mercer Restaurant and savour its a la carte dishes, made-to-order and a well-chosen gourmet breakfast menu.
