Overview
Located in Barcelona’s creative quarter, boutique hotel Yurbban Passage has the bones of a textile workshop, but the topcoat of a craftsman who’s conquered his trade. Iron window frames, brick walls and support columns attest to the building’s industrious beginnings, but the addition of a spa and roof terrace has transformed this old workhorse into a suavely-dressed sire. Nowadays, the hotel is resolutely committed to a life of leisure: lounging in the rooftop pool, you can count the silhouettes of church spires against the sunset. Once you're feeling suitably refreshed, you need only ride the lift back to the lobby, step outside, and you’ll find yourself back in the vibrant bustle.
Highlights:

In the know
Also need to know:
All of the public areas are wheelchair accessible, as are two of the Double Interior rooms.If you’re wondering whether Yurbban is a word from old Catalan, it's actually a blend of ‘young’ and ‘urban’. The ‘passage’ part of the hotel’s name refers to the passageway that runs underneath the building. Dating back to 1878, this alley was once the haunt of craftsmen and merchants, who likely used it to peddle their wares.
Packing tips:
Barcelona is a walking city, so forgo your fanciest footwear (at least during the day).
Dress code:
El Born’s craft heritage has made it a hotbed of fashion and design, so there’s plenty of boutiques selling clothes befitting of a yurbanite.

Dining information
Restaurant:
With a honey-toned wooden floor, webbed-cane chairs and walls of white-painted brick, the hotel's restaurant has the elegant yet understated look of a high-class atelier. This minimalism suits the space perfectly, however, as the high ceiling and floodlit columns provide plenty dramatic effect as it is.
Top Table:
If you like being close to the action (or just want something light), a seat at the bar should do you well. Those who prefer to sit on a soft bench should aim for one of the tables beneath the bookshelves.
Last Orders:
Breakfast is served from 7am to 11am and dinner from 7.30pm to 10.30pm. The Lounge Bar is open from 7am all the way through to midnight.
Hotel Bar:
The Lounge Bar is in the restaurant, standing in front of several grated windows. Guests’ line of sight has been kept clear, with all the bottles and glasses arranged on shelves overhead, keeping things smart and ordered.
