El Palace Barcelona

What the classifiers highlight

Barcelonians still call this 114-room hotel the Ritz, its suites named for six cultural icons who stayed, Salvador Dalí and Josephine Baker among them, TVs hidden inside grand mirrors. Forbes counts a temazcal, billed as Europe's first pre-Hispanic sweat lodge, and a rooftop garden of more than 16,100 square feet among the four-star amenities.
