Hotel Cram

Located in Barcelona's Eixample gay district, Hotel Cram is a short walk from Sauna Casanova, gay shops and the neighbourhood's bars and clubs. Behind the striking 1892 modernist façade are 67 stylish, air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, flat-screen TVs and advanced lighting technology. A consistently popular choice with gay travellers visiting the city.

The rooftop pool and bar are among the best reasons to stay here, with panoramic views across the city from the seventh floor. The big dining news is that the on-site restaurant is now Angle, which holds two Michelin stars and is led by celebrated chef Jordi Cruz, serving contemporary Mediterranean tasting menus. A cocktail bar and poolside bar round out the food and drink options.
