Barcelona Bound: Gourmet Cuisine and a Spa with Views at the Majestic Hotel

Attractive exchange rates are making this *the* summer to vacation in Europe. Barcelona on your brain? Get thee to the Catalan capital for some strolling on Las Ramblas, gaping at Gaudi monuments, dining in style, and sunning on the beach. Bed down in the heart of Barcelona at the Majestic Hotel, a neoclassical monument on Paseo de Gracia that's been a city landmark since 1918. You'll find luxe accommodations (including the exclusive Penthouse with panoramic views from a private terrace) and a top-floor spa and pool also boasting glorious city views. The hotel's Michelin-starred restaurant, Drolma, gets props for some of the best gourmet bites in Barcelona. Starting with VIP check-in, a stay at the Majestic is a regal affair. Rates available with Five Star Alliance starting from 189 euros per night this summer.
