OD Barcelona OD Barcelona comes as the newest addition to OD Hotels and the first to make its mark on the mainland, located in the heart of Spain's Eixample district. Characterized as one of Barcelona's most iconic and diverse districts, it's famous for being home to artistic masterpieces, stunning architecture, shopping boutiques and happening nightlife. The 98-room hotel is within walking distance to the city's center and has an avant-garde vibe that stands out amongst all other accomodations in Barcelona, showcasing modern design with a touch of Mediterranean flair. From the inside, OD Barcelona felt spacious with plenty of natural light pouring in from the city, complemented by a vertical garden growing along the glass façade. When we needed a break from the city's hustle and bustle, the hotel acted as our own personal oasis with soundproof walls and hushed indoor areas where we could retreat in peace. During your stay... Start your morning with a trip to Mercat de la Boqueria, a true foodie paradise and one of the best markets in all of Europe. Getting there early will help you avoid the crowds and put you first in line for a world-class breakfast like fried eggs with baby squid or some Jamón Ibérico for snacking. Afterwards, we suggest heading out on an architectural exploration, touring sites such as La Sagrada Família — one of Gaudí's most famous and beautiful works in all of Barcelona. V U E N J . C O M 123
