Travellers who want a genuine five-star with a Michelin-Key restaurant and a Roman-walls setting, and who are willing to pay for it
Yurbban Ramblas is a boutique hotel in a building from 1889 on La Rambla, opposite the Canaletes fountain at the top of the street, where the old city meets Plaça Catalunya. Six room categories run from a 12 m² single to a 30 m² Family room of two connected rooms and two bathrooms. Above the street there is a rooftop terrace with an open-air honesty bar, and the lobby lounge is open around the clock. Booking direct includes free access to the thermal circuit and pool at the sister Yurbban Passage hotel and the loan of a bicycle.

Our read on the trade-offs — what we would book it for, and what we would want to know first.
The room naming is unusually clear, so match it to your trip: the 12 m² Tiny is a single for one person travelling light, the Double and the Ramblas are both 16 m² for two, and only the Ramblas looks onto the boulevard, so book it rather than the Double if the view is the point. The Ramblas Superior gives 20 m² with the street below. For two people who want outdoor space, the Junior Suite has its own terrace. Families should take the 30 m² Family room, which is two rooms and two bathrooms connected, facing the interior courtyard.
Situated at La Rambla, 129 – opposite the Canaletes fountain, Barri Gòtic, 08002 Barcelona, placing you in the historic heart of the Barri Gòtic.
