Spain

Luxury hotel reviews, travel guides, and stories.

Barcelona is where we keep finding reasons to go back, mostly for the bars and restaurants. Enoteca overlooks the gardens of Hotel Arts and the sea beyond, and the tasting menu runs a full three hours with wine pairings, built around Mediterranean dishes with Catalan flavors. P41, the bar at the same hotel, does craft cocktails right on the beach.

In Madrid, Corral de la Moreria has been running for over fifty years and has been named the best flamenco venue in the world by the International Festival Las Minas. We're usually the type to avoid the touristy, most-recommended thing — this one earned the reputation.
