GASTRONOMY, ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN... A UNIQUE GOURMET EXPERIENCE ABaC Restaurant Hotel Monument is located in Sarria-Sant Gervasi, the upper zone of Barcelona, with views to the Kennedy square and surrounded with the vegetation of La Tamarita gardens. Close to the most important points of the city. Work of the architect Antoni de Moragas, consists of two buildings integrated in a garden. The centennial building was refurbished due to its historical value and it was the old residence of Dona Madronita, an intellectual of the born Catalan bourgeoisie at the end of XIX century. She was the daughter of the famous pharmacist Dr. Andreu, and she was the wife of the North American Max Klein (president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States and one of the introducers of the basketball in Spain). On the other hand, the new crystal pavilion is covered of lattices of wood and joined the garden. Landscape and architecture give themselves the hand in a space of pure lines.

Getting there
Good for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Thanks to a family event and also the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Barcelona , we decided to stay at ABaC with my wife and our two sons .
Located in a very quiet and charming area of Barcelona, this “Boutique hotel “is very elegant.
And let’s start by mentioning how much the staff is extremely kind, professional,efficient with a lot of empathy for guests.
From the moment you arrive at the hotel,you feel privileged and cared.. We selected Deluxe rooms, very wide, well-equipped, with a modern design.All details are really very well anticipated.… The Spa is very elegant ,and we experienced very good relaxing massages.
We previously booked the dinner at the 3 Stars Michelin restaurant of the hotel. A fantastic epicurean experience,with surprising mixed flavors, a deep attention to cooking,and the use of unique local ingredients.
So everything was fabulous and far beyond our most optimistic expectations !
It took me time to find out some points to improve and really thinking about it I would just mention that the restaurant should adopt a dress code policy for guests.
Even if the key point is what you discover in your plates ,which in this case was really unbelievable, having dinner with some ( only some ) other tables where people come in blue jeans,sneakers, « Hawaiian » short sleeves style shirts is not what I expect in a 3 stars hotels.
Usually at this level, Business casual, or jackets are required…I’m not stating that suits and ties should be mandatory , but there should be a minimum ,specified in advance to guests…If there is not a minimum of respect for the other guests and employees, what can we expect in the future? People coming to dinner in Bermuda’s?
Once again, it took me a lot of efforts to highlight a point of improvement but I believe that this should be considered by the restaurant owners …
If you have the chance to visit this fantastic city of Barcelona, DO NOT miss the opportunity to stay at ABaC, enjoy the dinner and …relax..
We will do our best to be back again and again….
P.S: quite sad to have seen Charles Leclerc stopped while leading a fantastic race on the Ferrari ,because of an unexpected engine failure….But He will be back stronger ! 💪

Our reception was efficient and welcoming. The room and the spa facilities are superb. There is excellent attention to detail. Covid precautions were properly adhered to and public areas were exceptionally clean. The patio restaurant had limited options and the staff there less attentive than elsewhere in the hotel. Parking facilities were also very welcome as there is no easily accessible parking nearby.

We can definitely recommend this hotel. The Deluxe room ist really nice, there‘s enough space, has a samsung speaker, smart tv, a shower, a bathtub… We also really liked Irene from the reception, she showed us the hotel and gave all the necessery information. Spa is small but nice. The gym was somewhat disappointing though.

We spent four nights at the ABAC during the December long weekend and I have to say that it was a very pleasant experience. The hotel is an oasis of peace in the upper area of Barcelona; The rooms are spacious, bright and perfectly equipped; breakfast - of the highest quality - is served in the wonderful library, etc. But the best of all is the great professionalism and kindness of all the staff, attentive to every detail, with that Barcelona courtesy, which pleases but does not invade. Anyway, we will return as soon as we can.

Generally a very nice hotel. Especially the bathtub area was great. It is in a residential area, very safe. It is a small hotel, only 15 rooms, The entire staff was very friendly. The main general criticism was that it seemed to be a restaurant first, hotel 2nd. Also, the only dinner restaurant was a prix-fix menu, more than $300 per person. Would expect more choices. The specific criticism: I asked front desk if there was English speaking news channel on TV. Now, we generally go to bed early. The gentleman at the front desk offered to come to our room to set it up. It was about 9:30 pm and my wife was in bed already. After 15 to 20 minutes, he couldn't figure out how to get any channel, English or Spanish, on the tv. He said he was sending someone else up, and about 15 minutes later, a woman came up. After about 10 minutes, she called someone else who came up about 10 minutes later, and got the TV channels on after about 15 minutes. They immediately left, with a Spanish speaking station on. We scrolled through about 70 to 80 channels, and while there were two or three channels playing movies in English, we found no news stations.

We are truly sorry to hear that we did not achieve your complete satisfaction this time, as we work hard every day. Please, believe that we will never say or do anything consciously to make any guest feel disappointed, we did all we had in our hands to make you change your perception, we truly believe that it only took 15 minutes from our side, and we ask our apologies once again, but we did not have any notice about your preferences on channel, as we had only your request of English ones and that's what we did. Of course, we are taking note of all your comments and have forwarded them to the relevant department heads for their due consideration and action. We hope to have another opportunity one day soon.

This should not be a 5 star hotel! Great restaurant & nice looking property, but 80% of the attention is given to the restaurant and not the hotel. EXAMPLES: 1- They offer room service (as expected at any 5 star hotel) but frequently tell you the kitchen staff is too busy with the restaurant to be able to provide room service. So there really is no reliable room service. 2- One arrives at the hotel and there is no one to help you with your luggage! 3- Front desk staff and reception staff members are clueless regarding what great service means.

Wonderful experience. We loved the entire experience here. Super friendly and helpful staff. They are as helpful or as hand off as you wish. We prefer hands off. Our suite with terrace and hot tub was super comfortable. All information requested was acted on. Our gastronomical experience at the restaurant was one of the best experiences we have had in Spain and we have had many. The spa and pool was amazing for us as there was always availability. This hotel is understated, zen and not for everyone but that’s why we loved it. Will be back. Good local restaurants nearby.

This hotel is quite amazing. We were only able to spend one night here but it was a fantastic experience. It is an ultra modern hotel with superb fixtures and fittings. It was all so very comfortable. The suite was huge and a further huge outdoor terrace. It is in a lovely area of Barcelona . The excellent breakfast was served on a delightful terrace. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. A thoroughly first class, 5 star experience.

There is a subway (tube) station located directly across street from the hotel, and a taxi stand immediately in front of the hotel. The hotel is wonderful, and as another reader answered in response to your inquiry, the stadium is not terribly far from the property.
There are more places to choose from in the Barcelona area.
