If it’s cool you are after, then the concept Chic and Basic Born hotel will provide a great introduction to life in Barcelona, as it’s the sort of place that fits in perfectly with the avant-garde ambience of this great city.

Where else but in Barcelona would a century old building be turned into a super cool accommodation combining a 22 feet high ceiling, and older elements such as tiled floors and marble banisters with rooms boasting colour curtains, crystal showers in the middle of the room (yes, the middle of the room!) and an LED light system. By that we mean that you can change the colours and tones of your room as you see fit, whether it’s the sensual red hues or soothing sleep inducing blue tones. It’s up to you and the mood your in, but whatever shade you choose, it’s really cool. There we go using that word again, but trendy, fresh, seductive and attractive are other adjectives we can conjure up.

Now there’s another great thing about the Chic and Basic that you should consider - the location. It’s right in the heart of the Born district, which buzzes with bars and restaurants and shopping. It may not be the cheapest area of town, but goodness it’s fun and pretty central too. Many of the city’s landmarks are easily reached. There’s only one thing that we would perhaps take issue with – the name. It’s only half right, in our opinion. As you may have guessed by now, chic it most definitely is, but although there is a certain minimalist feel to the hotel, there’s nothing basic about it.

In short, this is a place that is as fun and creative as Barcelona itself.
