Bottom Line
The Olivia Plaza Hotel has a prime location across from Plaza Catalunya in Barcelona. This 113-room boutique hotel has contemporary flair with bright red accents and funky silver light installations. All rooms have flat-screen TVs, minibars, big windows with great views, and free Wi-Fi. Ask for a room on the higher floors for glimpses of the Port of Barcelona. Designer bathrooms with rainfall showerheads are sleek, but glass dividers make for less privacy. Rooms with true king-size beds (not always easy to find in Europe) are on offer here. There are a few notable hotel features, including a stylish roof terrace, peaceful outdoor garden, and full restaurant serving Mediterranean cuisine and a buffet breakfast. With a location near public transport and a contemporary lobby with plush couches, this hotel is a comfortable, stylish pick.
