When it comes to eating well, few cities in the world can compete with Barcelona. On your next vacation here, why not start by booking a hotel with some top-notch gourmet credentials?

To help you make the right accommodation choice, here are the best hotels in the Catalan capital with restaurants worth traveling for—from the Michelin-approved temples of fine dining, to bustling tapas bars, an upscale sushi spot, and not one, but two , rather excellent steakhouses.

With no fewer than four Michelin stars under its roof, it’s hard to rival Barcelona’s Monument Hotel for culinary excellence. One-star Oria has a more casual approach to fine dining, while three-star Lasarte goes the whole hog, with dishes like squid tartare with liquid egg yolk, onion and kaffir consommé, or Wagyu ravioli and glazed eel, iodized cream, horseradish and caviar, which is bound to bring a tear to your eye. Meanwhile, the top-floor Verbena restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and Sunday brunch—with rooftop views included. All three are led by Spain’s most Michelin-starred chef, Martín Berasategui.

There are many reasons why Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona consistently gets named as one of the best hotels in Spain: from its unrivaled comfort and ultra-discreet staff, to the exceptional food and beverage offerings. The highlight is the two-star Michelin Moments, by Carme Ruscalleda—the first woman to be awarded seven Michelin stars—and her son Raül Balam, whose current tasting menu is a delicious work of art inspired by Salvador Dalí’s recipe book ‘Les Dîners de Gala ‘. There’s also Blanc, a light-filled atrium serving locally-inspired Mediterranean cuisine, Banker’s Bar, one of the city’s best cocktail bars, and, in summer, the rooftop Terrat, by Peruvian chef Gastón Acurio.

Despite its somewhat unfashionable location opposite Sants train station, it’s safe to say Nobu Barcelona is one of the city’s hottest openings in recent years. Rooms deliver signature Nobu minimalism with dimmed lighting and sexy wooden bathtubs, and there’s even a dreamy subterranean Natura Bissé spa. But the real piece de resistance is the achingly hip top-floor Nobu Restaurant, with views spanning all the way from Tibidabo mountain, past the Sagrada Família, down to the beach—not to mention some of the best sushi in town, of course.

Take a stylish address in central Barcelona, ​​add the youngest French chef ever to win a Michelin star, and what have you got? Why, Caelis restaurant at Ohla Barcelona, ​​of course! This one-star Michelin fine-dining temple is by Chef Romain Fornell who was first recognized by the people at Michelin at the age of 24. Since then, he has built a mini restaurant empire in Barcelona, ​​of which Caelis is the crowning glory. The popular 13-course seasonal tasting menu includes dishes like frozen vichyssoise with trout eggs, and a mind-blowing combination of smoked eel with artichoke and foie gras.

Serras Hotel Barcelona is very much everything a boutique hotel should be. Hiding in plain sight in the midst of the Gothic Quarter, it is peaceful and discreet, with exceptional personalized service and some of the comfiest rooms in town. Its rooftop and ground-floor Informal restaurant, by Michelin-starred Catalan chef Marc Gascons is an under-the-radar favorite among local foodies. Gascons’ take on spicy patatas bravas is up there with the best, while his organic chicken cannelloni with mushroom béchamel will take you right back to your grandma’s kitchen.

While it’s no secret that Casa Bonay is one of Barcelona’s trendiest boutique hotels, what you may not know is that it is also home to some of the city’s hottest eating and drinking spots. The ground-floor Libertine bar mixes a mean Three Gin Martini, while Bodega Bonay is a low-key foodie hotspot serving creative tapas like the moreish artichoke tatin (a savory take on tarte tatin with—you guessed it—artichoke instead of apple). On summer nights, the rooftop Chiringuito is the place to feast on barbecued lamb chops and succulent Criollo-style Iberian pork blade.

When El Palace opened in 1919 as the Ritz of Barcelona it was the city’s first five-star luxury hotel. These days, the competition may be fiercer than ever, but El Palace has retained its reputation as one of the most glamorous spots in the city and—as of last year—it also has the fine-dining restaurant it deserves. Amar, which specializes in fishy delicacies like oysters, red Mediterranean shrimp and caviar, completes a superb food and beverage offering that also includes the ultra-romantic jasmine-blossom-filled Rooftop El Palace and the buzzy Bluesman Cocktail Bar.

Set within spitting distance of Gaudí’s La Pedrera, Sir Victor knows what modern travelers want: a bustling city center location, comfy, on-point design, and a hip rooftop where the beautiful people congregate on summer nights. It goes without saying that somewhere as achingly trendy as this needs a restaurant to match and Sir Victor’s resident Mr. Porter doesn’t disappoint. Don’t be fooled by the “steakhouse” billing; Mr. Porter is also a dab hand at everything from zucchini carpaccio to roasted sea bass and the unmissable jumbo shrimp salad with corn, avocado and chili.

The unbeatably located Barcelona outpost of Marriott’s ultra-chic Edition brand is the hotel that has it all. Spend the day enjoying the show-stopping views and fresh takes on Asian street food on the Roof, before heading to the ground-floor Bar Veraz for dinner. Here, flavor-packed yet unpretentious Mediterranean dishes are prepared using top-notch seasonal ingredients from the neighboring Santa Caterina market, known for its undulating mosaic roof. Once the sun sets, sip a signature cocktail in the Punch Room before dancing the night away in the Cabaret nightclub.

Part of Hilton’s Curio Collection, the Alexandra Barcelona Hotel may not look like much on the surface but ignore it on your peril. Not only do the top-floor suites with their spacious terraces and open-air bathtubs offer some of the best-value stays in town, the onsite Solomillo restaurant also serves some of the city’s finest steaks. Choose your meat according to your preferred breed, cut, and weight—before adding sides and sauces—for a feast worthy of the most die-hard carnivores. On balmy summer nights, enjoy it on the hotel’s leafy open-air patio.

A landmark of luxury hospitality since it opened in 1994, this beachfront Ritz-Carlton property has everything you’d expect from a hotel of its caliber. The 483 rooms include 28 serviced penthouses, set on the upper floors of the hotel with a private reception and concierge, while the aptly named 43rd-floor 43 The Spa offers exclusive treatments and panoramic views. Hotel Arts has a poolside restaurant and a cocktail bar, but the real standout is the two-star Michelin Enoteca Paco Pérez, named after its superstar chef whose love of seasonal Catalan produce from the land and sea and shines through in his elegant tasting menus.
