H10 Metropolitan
Barcelona | Spain
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Set in a beautifully restored historic building just off Plaça de Catalunya, H10 Metropolitan is a chic base for exploring Barcelona on foot. Interiors by renowned designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán mix industrial touches with vintage flair, while two petite outdoor pools – including a rooftop plunge pool – give you somewhere stylish to unwind above the city buzz. With a tapas-serving Eden Bar, The Kitchen breakfast restaurant and smart, well-equipped rooms, this certified sustainable hotel is ideal for couples and friends seeking a central city break with a little boutique polish.
Think rooftop plunge pool overlooking Barcelona’s rooftops, a quiet courtyard pool fringed with loungers, and an Eden Bar terrace made for cava and tapas. H10 Metropolitan wraps contemporary design around classic architecture to create a grown-up hideaway steps from Plaça de Catalunya, with Las Ramblas, the Gothic Quarter and Gaudí’s masterpieces all within easy walking distance.
For couples and friends keen to pack in Barcelona’s big sights without long metro rides, H10 Metropolitan is a standout choice. You’re moments from Plaça de Catalunya at the top of La Rambla, with metro and bus links on your doorstep, so getting around the city – or down to Barceloneta beach – is straightforward. Transfers from Barcelona El Prat Airport usually take around 30–40 minutes by taxi or airport bus plus a short walk. See more Spain holidays.

Restaurants and Bars
The Kitchen Restaurant
Start the day with a generous buffet breakfast in The Kitchen Restaurant, where hot dishes, pastries, fruit and cold cuts are served in a bright, contemporary dining room. Highchairs are available for younger guests, and there’s usually a mix of continental and cooked options to fuel a day of sightseeing. Beachwear isn’t permitted, keeping the atmosphere pleasantly refined even at busy times.
Eden Bar & Terrace
The Eden Bar is the hotel’s stylish lobby bar, opening from morning until late evening (approx. 09:00–00:00), and is adults-only for a grown-up, cocktail-bar feel. Expect a menu of local and international spirits, wines and beers alongside coffees, soft drinks and light bites. When the weather cooperates, gravitate towards the terrace to enjoy tapas-style plates and drinks in the open air.
Lobby Bar Service
In addition to Eden, there is lobby bar service offering a range of local, international and premium drinks. A smart casual dress code may apply in the evening.
Menu details, opening times and whether reservations or supplements are required can change by season and board basis, so check locally on arrival.
Pool Areas and Beach
Despite its central-city location, H10 Metropolitan offers two attractive outdoor pool areas:
Rooftop plunge pool
Head up to the roof for a compact plunge pool surrounded by sunbeds and city views – ideal for cooling off after exploring the Gothic Quarter or Gaudí’s houses. Space is at a premium, but the vibe is relaxed and intimate, more about a refreshing dip than full-on laps.
Courtyard pool
On a lower level, a second freshwater outdoor pool sits within a chic sunbathing terrace, furnished with sunbeds and parasols. This more sheltered spot is a great alternative when the rooftop is breezy or busy.
Pool towels are provided free of charge. Facilities and opening hours can vary by pool and season. There is no direct beach access here, but Barceloneta Beach is easy to reach by metro or bus for a swim in the Med.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
While there’s no dedicated spa or gym on site, H10 Metropolitan focuses on comfort, convenience and service:
• Stylish lobby areas and outdoor terraces for relaxing between excursions
• Reception team offering concierge services such as restaurant recommendations, tour suggestions and local tips
• Luggage storage – handy for early arrivals or late departures
• Free Wi‑Fi throughout the hotel
Barcelona itself is your playground: walkable neighbourhoods, beachfront promenades for jogging, bike hire nearby, and easy access to museums, galleries and stadium tours.
