Virens at Almanac Barcelona
As Barcelona prepares for the arrival of summer, our thoughts turn to the city’s gastronomic offerings. At Almanac Barcelona, Rodrigo de la Calle, their Michelin-starred chef plays with seasonal products to deliver his vision of Mediterranean cuisine at Virens.
No city pulsates with the arrival of summer like Barcelona. The streets are brimming with life, neighborhood parties, festivals, and activities. The nights are the perfect time to go for a stroll in the cool air and discover magical things to do. A stay at Almanac, a 5-star boutique hotel captures the golden glow of the city’s story.
Just before entering the property, take a step back and admire the singularity of the façade and its iconic cube windows, that fill the guestrooms with light and a privileged spot to appreciate the hustle and bustle below. You will feel the warmth and coziness of the summer season in the genuine care of their team. Amaya, Pedro, or Joan will deliver a warm and friendly personalized experience that always makes the difference.
After they share their secrets to explore the hidden gems of the city, visit Azimuth rooftop on the 8th floor, which offers the best views over Barcelona’s skyline, from La Sagrada Familia to Mount Tibidabo. The perfect place to soak up the sun by the pool or relax and admire the thousand colours of a summer sunset with a glass of Almanac Cava -the local sparkling wine made by a boutique winery just for them.
We cannot mention Barcelona without thinking about its gastronomy. Rodrigo de la Calle, their Michelin-starred chef, plays with the seasonal products to deliver his vision of the Mediterranean cuisine at Virens. Natural plants and vegetable products are the stars of each dish centred on the philosophy of organic farming. Make sure you don’t leave without tasting the iconic beetroot tartare or a homemade kombucha at the Bar.
From large guest rooms or connecting options for families to stunning suites with private terraces, Almanac is the perfect base to celebrate the spirit of Barcelona.
